Milton Keynes Museum is about and for people. It is for the past, present and future residents and visitors to Milton Keynes of all ages from children to adults.

Our projects

We have big plans for the future. We are fundraising to create two permanent exhibitions in our purpose-built galleries. As always, local people will be at the heart of the Museum’s development and will help shape how the special stories of Milton Keynes are told now, and in the future.

Once complete, visitors will be immersed in a hands-on adventure that engages all the senses to tell the whole story of Milton Keynes from prehistory, the creation of the country’s largest new town and its place today as a thriving 21st Century city.

For the first time, the people of Milton Keynes will have a place to celebrate common heritage and preserve their story for future generations.

Ancient Milton Keynes

The Ancient Gallery will reveal hidden history from pre-history 18th Century. Remarkable archaeology will be on display for the first time including preserved mosaics from a Roman Bathhouse at Bancroft and the remains of the largest Bronze Roundhouse ever found in Britain.

Creation of 'The New Town'

The New Town Gallery will showcase the largest of the UK’s ambitious town-building programme. Visitors will learn about the ground-breaking ideas and people behind the creation of Milton Keynes. The exhibition will explore the first 50 years of our young city and celebrate the achievements and lives of the people who travel from across the world to make it their home today.

How you can help

The Museum is about and for, ordinary people. Visitors can touch and use artefacts, which are mostly those that people would have known and used on a daily basis, and they are in surroundings that make them more understandable.

The new buildings are in place; the exhibition outlines are ready. We now need a little more money and lots more input from the people of Milton Keynes whom it serves.
