Stevenage Museum is a lively community service working with local people and groups to present a full programme of projects, exhibitions and events.

Our permanent displays show life in the town from pre-history to the present day. You can time travel with Sam on a trail for the under eights. Use a touch screen computer to access the photographic collection. Listen to oral history recordings recalling the history of the town and its people. Visit our 1950's kitchen and lay the table for tea.
