Windsor and Royal Borough Museum is a family-friendly museum bursting with interesting facts and interactive displays of East Berkshire.
The museum explores the history of the borough through an audio trail of stories told by local residents about their lives and the changing landscape of Windsor.
The museum offers a look into our unique and varied collection, from our 100,000-year-old Mammoth tusk to a model of a Hawker Hurricane, the plane designed by Windsor-born Sir Sydney Camm.
When available, we also offer guided tours of the Grade I listed Windsor Guildhall, where you can gain a glimpse into these splendid rooms, view the collection of portraits of monarchs since Elizabeth I and learn about the civic history of Windsor.
The museum is continuing to share objects and stories about the Royal Borough and its residents online until it can open again. Family activities are available here, including downloadable worksheets, quizzes and videos to complete from the comfort of your own home.
Visitors can also help the museum to record the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our community by donating items to ‘The Royal Borough Memory Box’. This historic project invites you to contribute your photographs, videos, artwork, stories and any items that represent your personal experiences of life during the pandemic and in lockdown.
To get involved with this unique opportunity, visit the Royal Borough Memory Box website here.
Follow the museum on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram and subscribe to their YouTube channel for newly released content.
