Exhibitions
The new Museum comes to life with three interactive exhibitions enabling you to undertake a 'journey through time' spanning 5,000 years of Towcester's history.
The first and current exhibition, starts you off in a timeline through history tracing the origins of Towcester from the Stone Age through the Bronze Age and Iron Ages right to the end of the Roman occupation!
Artefacts
As well as our exhibitions the Museum also collects, restores and preserves many artefacts from Towcester and its surrounding villages.
Our dedicated team of restorers and archivists are constantly saving and growing the collection.
Many of the artefacts acquired are used within our exhibitions.
