The Hypocaust Museum is a museum at St Albans, Hertfordshire, England. Situated in Verlamium Park, the museum provides in situ conservation and interpretation of a hypocaust within the walled city of Verulamium.
The system heated residential accommodation built around 200 CE.[1] Unlike the hypocaust at Welwyn, it appears not to be linked to baths.
The hypocaust was excavated in the 1930s as part of large-scale excavations conducted by Sir Mortimer Wheeler and Tessa Wheeler on land recently acquired by the Corporation of St Albans. The original museum building was replaced around 2005.[2]
