News from the MUSEUM Change to opening hours


Maidstone Museum is no longer open to the public on Mondays. This is in order to best preserve the collections in the safest manner possible and to ensure that the museum's 600,000 artefacts remain free for all visitors to discover. Monday closures will also enable us to maximise the revenue generated by the museum while limiting the cost of operations during one of the quieter days of the week.


From 28 March to 31 October 2016 the Museum will be open on Tuesday – Saturday from 10am - 5pm and on Sundays from 12pm - 4pm.


Keep in touch


The museum has recently undergone a programme of improvement works. Keep in touch and find news and information at www.museum.maidstone.gov.uk, on twitter @MaidstoneMuseum or by emailing maidstoneinfo@maidstone.gov.uk
