The Museum's collections are very diverse. We have one of the largest costume collections in the country as well as a stunning collection of toys and dolls.

The Fine Art and Decorative Art Collections span several centuries and many styles. Many of the pieces are by very influential British artists and craftsmen.

The Local History Archive is very extensive as are the Collections.

Please note that not all of these items will be on display at any one time and if you want to see something particular when you visit it is a good idea to contact us in advance. If the object is not on display we will do our best to show it to you.

To view details of a particular collection please click on the appropriate entry at the left-hand side of the page.
