Although the previous building had less space than the current one it still had a wonderful display of artifacts from the post Roman era, Saxon brooches, coins, carved stonework such as part of a church window frame depicting a Saxon warrior, plus Norman, later medieval and Tudor items on display.

The town hall exhibits are only a fraction of what the previous museum had to offer and are now in storage.

The new Museum+ Gallery opened in 2018 in the old town hall [a grade 11 Listed building] in St Albans city centre.

The museum contains information about the Iron Age and Roman periods of St Albans' history.

The later history of the settlement is presented at the St Albans Museum + Gallery.
