Welcome to Museums In Essex |
This site contains the details of museums and galleries throughout Essex – from the Thames Estuary to Constable Country; Harlow to Walton-on-the-Naze. The 42 museums and galleries that feature in this guide cater for all tastes; so whether you are interested in history, science, art, the environment or are just simply curious, then there is a museum in Essex for you!
Essex has a long and rich history and its museums are an ideal way to discover this. From the earliest tantalising clues about life in pre-historic times to the exciting technological and scientific discoveries of the twentieth century and the thousands of years between, can be explored in museums and galleries throughout the county.
This site will also give you an idea of the facilities that each museum has to offer, as well as the type of access available to the public. Museums and galleries will welcome school and group visits, but if you want to bring a group you should always book well in advance.
Although this website is not an exhaustive list of all museums and galleries in Essex, Southend and Thurrock, we hope it will provide a handy guide for you to explore and enjoy Essex.
Have fun!
This site also contains information about News & information for people working or volunteering in museums in Essex and information about the Museums In Essex Committee (MIEC).
Essex has a network of over 80 museums. They vary from small volunteer run community museums to those with collections of national and international importance. MIEC co-ordinates countywide initiatives and projects for Essex museums. We provide advice and training and produce quarterly newsletters promoting museums across the county. We have also published a real Essex guide to 42 essex museums which can be downloaded here.
