Description
The Museum of Canterbury is a 21st century interactive museum, whose theme is the city itself and its often turbulent story.
Housed in the medieval Poor Priests’ Hospital and now extended into two adjoining buildings, the museum displays exhibits from pre-Roman times to the end of the 20th century.
Hands-on activities make this a fun and interactive museum that appeals to the whole family – you'll be able to look at gold thread and medieval poo under the microscope, open the Elizabethan treasure chest to help you decide on Marlowe’s death or do some ‘friend or foe’ wartime plane-spotting.
For schools and colleges there is an education wing, featuring the 1900s house Victorian collection.
An exhibitions gallery and a well-stocked shop for souvenirs, presents and a host of publications on the Museum’s themes are all available.
