Experiencia fantástica: Love this little museum. I lived in Kingston for several years before I finally went in and was utterly amazed by the stories it contained. They also do some really lovely events in their amazing upstairs space. There is stuff for all ages including families. They also exhibit the Brill collection which is artists painting Kingston through the years. For that alone it's worth a visit.

Experiencia fantástica: We went there for Hellowen theme story telling activity for kids but real idea behind this play group was make the children to love being in the museum and make them love the history. This is an amazing idea you can give for future generations. Unfortunately I don't know the names of the story teller gentleman's and a lady who helped him. Still wanted to give them big thank you for what they're doing for children.

Experiencia fantástica: Lovely little museum. Great for discovering the history of this ancient town.

Philip Jones 2 years ago

Experiencia fantástica: What a great little place ! Lots of local history and artefacts. You got Neolitic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman, Anglo Saxon and right up to WW2. Nicely curated and good info boards. These little local museums are often a much nicer experience than visiting big national ones where you have too many people and no time to look at things properly. I went for the Bowie exhibition, which was pretty good, but actually preferred all the permanent stuff.

Experiencia positiva: It's small museum. It opens only 3 day of week from Thursday to Saturday . Admission is free. We visited on Saturday, there was no queue and museum was almost empty. Reception staff is friendly. The museum's holdings include 120 Martinware ceramics, some of which are on display. The art gallery on the first floor of the museum hosts a changing programme of exhibitions as well as talks and events.

Marion Woodville 6 years ago

Experiencia positiva: Nice little museum but a pity whoever wrote the captions to the Edweard Muybridge exhibition felt the need to spoil it by imposing his/her patronising, virtue-signalling agenda. Please just let the exhibits speak for themselves and visitors can make up their own minds.

Kingston Museum

Hi Marion, We're sorry to hear that you felt your experience of the captions could have been improved, if you have any feedback on improving the exhibitions we woud love to hear from you at [email protected]

Kingston Museum

Thank you for the feedback Stephen!

Hugo Minney 7 years ago

Experiencia positiva: Small but perfectly formed - the Kingston Museum tells a very local story, both because the building itself is part of that history, and by the well curated exhibits. Kingston is about economy, trade, and why kings are kings. It's the same today as it has been for thousands of years. And the museum explains this in an interesting way, taking us through Saxon times, the rights of fishing and loading boats, right up to the suffragette movement and the professional woman

Kingston Museum

Thank you for the positive review, Hugo!

ana borges 7 years ago

Experiencia positiva: Tem história de Kingston desde os Vikings até século da revolução industrial. Há gravuras projectadas na parede com mercado da época, acompanhadas com áudio característico daquilo que se observa. (Carroças a passar, pessoas a apregoar, passos,). Sons do mercado da época. Muito bonito. Coloca-nos naquele tempo.

Kingston Museum

Obrigado! Thank you for your positive review Ana!

Experiencia fantástica: Les collections permanentes sont intéressantes et permettent de mieux connaître l'histoire de Kingston. L'exposition des gravures de Sir John Tenniel est intéressante également et l'on rajeunit avec bonheur devant ces merveilles ! Pour les enfants, tout est prévu : activités, parcours... Le personnel est adorable.

Henry Eakin 11 years ago

Experiencia negativa: This place is as dull as it is out dated. If you're looking for a fun place to go on a day out with the family you should keep a good distance from this house of boredom.
