The remains of one wing of the largest domestic Roman building yet found in Britain can be seen inside a cover building, with many impressive mosaic floors, underfloor heating systems, corridors and courtyards. The story of the site is told in a new audio-visual programme using computer generated imagery, and also in the museum gallery, using artefacts from the excavations. Outside, the formal garden has been re-planted to its original plan, based on excavated bedding trenches. This is supplemented by a plant display area and museum of Roman gardens.

In the new Collections Discovery Centre one can see into the conservation laboratory and the sensitive and bulk stores, where the reserve archaeological collections of both the Roman Palace and Chichester District Museum are housed. There is the rare opportunity to handle genuine artefacts, several thousand years old, on the daily Collections Discovery Centre tours.
