Museum galleries

The new museum exhibition galleries are housed on the first floor of the 17th century part of the house. Here visitors can explore the borough’s museum collection. The collection includes archaeology, costume, arms and armour, natural history, fine art and much more.   Moth from the Museum’s Entomological collection	Museum staff cleaning part of the costume collection for display

Three smaller galleries have displays relating to Bexley’s Early Settlers, the Victorians in Bexley, and World War Two. The larger spaces are used for a changing series of displays and exhibitions highlighting particular groups of objects from the collection.

These spaces, where the displays have been generously funded by the Cory Environmental Trust in Britain, allow our visitors to find out more about the history of their community, through the objects in the collection but also drawing on our own research and our work with the borough’s archive and local studies department.
