🗣️ Museo de Kingston: Opiniones
Experiencia positiva: Pequeño museo sobre la historia local.
Experiencia fantástica: Este es un encantador pequeño museo local, que abarca una variedad de épocas, con una exposición que cambia regularmente. Definitivamente lo recomendaría.
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: There are many details of Kingston back then
Experiencia fantástica: Went on their Quirky Tour and discovered so much about Kingston and surrounding areas that was fascinating. Highly recommend.
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: Real good place to go and nice staff
Experiencia fantástica: Great little oasis away from the shopping. Well worth a visit and it's free.
Experiencia fantástica: Definitely a hidden treasure. Small but very well curated local history museum of Kingston. Full of interesting historical artefacts. Free of charge. Family and children friendly with a free activity area. There is a free special exhibition recently : Creative Flow, Kingston, art and the river until 13/04/2024. Highly Recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Lovely little museum that had a great David Bowie exhibition when I visited.
Experiencia fantástica: Lovely little museum. Great for discovering the history of this ancient town.
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.

The art gallery on the first floor of the museum hosts a changing programme of exhibitions as well as talks and events.

Hi Nadia. Thanks for your review. We hope you've been enjoying our digital content while we've been closed for COVID-19 and we look forward to having you visit us again when we can reopen.
Experiencia fantástica: Kingston Museum is an accredited Museum in Kingston upon Thames, southwest London, England. Scottish American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie funded the building of the Museum which adjoins Kingston Library. The Museum runs a lively programme of temporary exhibitions and events and welcomes all visitors free of charge.
Experiencia fantástica: Splendid little museum full of information and the photographic exhibition on when we visited was first rate. Excellent visit. You have to look for the building but please go and find it.

Hi Jamie, Unfortunately Kingston Museum doesn't have any on site parking and I'm sorry that this impacted your visit.

Experiencia positiva: Small,ok but not amazing,however worth a look.
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.
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]

Thanks for your review Robert!
Experiencia fantástica: Nice little museum
Thank you!
Experiencia positiva: Nice show of coins and artefacts from all historic periods - shame though about the faulty lighting in some of the showcases as was unable to properly view the objects (the reason for 3 marking)
Thank you for the feedback Stephen!
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
Thank you for the positive review, Hugo!
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.
Obrigado! Thank you for your positive review Ana!
Experiencia positiva: Very interesting
Thanks for your review!
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.
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.
