Collections

Maidstone Museum was established in 1858 and now houses over 660,000 artefacts and specimens. They are outstanding in their diversity and quality and some are of national and even international importance. The work of collectors, staff and benefactors over 150 years has created an overwhelmingly rich and diverse collection of far greater than regional significance.
