Over 40 museums. Every visit unique.
Surrey has over 40 museums, galleries and heritage sites. We say ‘museums’ to keep it simple.
Did you know there have been world-famous royals, artists, writers, musicians, actors, pioneers and politicians all from Surrey? Not only that, but world-class arts, crafts, industries and sports too?
On every museum visit, you’ll be inspired by stunning artefacts, buildings and stories of these people, places and events that have shaped Surrey’s remarkable history.
What will you discover today?
Surrey has some of the most fascinating and important history of all counties. It is the perfect mix of a beautiful and varied landscape, closeness to London and good trade routes to the coast that have been attracting people here for thousands of years. Each one has left their stamp on the county’s heritage. Our museums bring their unique stories and artefacts alive through their changing programmes of exhibitions and events. No matter what your interest, you’ll discover something for everyone all year round.
