The Museum

Towcester Museum Trust is a registered charity (Charity number 1120909) founded in 2003 and dedicated to providing a quality museum and visitor centre for Towcester. Located in the courtyard of a former Georgian coaching inn in the heart of historic Towcester, the museum provides a centre for tourism and historical information for the district and a much needed focal point for the exhibition, display and interpretation of the history of the Towcester district.

This heritage project comprises:

• Modern museum galleries
• Tourist information and visitor centre
• A venue for temporary exhibitions
• A museum shop
• An educational and research facility
• A facility for preserving local historic archives & artefacts

The Towcester Museum provides an important amenity and heritage asset that greatly enhances commercial and community activity within the town.
