Whether you are local, new to the area, or just visiting, explore Richmond's history at our friendly Museum.
With special events, exhibitions, and tours, there is always something new for you to discover.
You can find the Museum on the Second Floor of the Old Town Hall, just off Richmond Riverside, only 10 minutes from the train station.
We are FREE to visit, so pop in and explore!
We have an extensive offering for schools. We provide a memorable, good value and fun day out for your students. We are easy to travel to using public transport and you get to have the museum to themselves! All of our workshops support your work back in the classroom, with local case studies and hands on activities. They are led by Vicky, our Learning Officer, who has over fifteen years of experience of working with schools in museums. So you can sit back, and enjoy the workshop with your class, knowing that at the end of the visit they will have: learnt something new about your topic and the history of Richmond, developed new or established skills and had an enjoyable experience.

We also have plenty going on for families! Our workshops at the Museum help you explore Richmond's history, get creative and spend some quality time together as a family. Workshops are £6 per child, adults are FREE. (You can also book FREE places for children not doing the craft, like under 5s who may not be quite ready for it yet!) All of our workshops are led by our Museum Expert, Vicky, who has over 15 years of experience of working with families in museums and has an Enhanced DBS check.
As well as workshops during the school holidays, we will be offering FREE activities to families. There will be simple crafts available in the exhibition area from 1pm until the Museum closes each day of the Richmond school holidays. Everything you need will be set out for you to get creative as a family, including instruction sheets and materials.
