Milton Keynes Museum

Milton Keynes Museum We are THE Museum dedicated to the history of Milton Keynes and the people who live here. We tell the story of MK through interactive exhibits and hands-on fun!
(262)

Find us just outside Wolverton. We tell the story of MK before the city was planned and developed through interactive and hands-on exhibits. Go back in time and walk down a Victorian street of shops, then meet modern Milton Keynes’ famous icons – the concrete cows. There’s something to excite everyone at Milton Keynes Museum. Set in beautiful farmland outside of Wolverton, unlike a lot of other mu

seum’s we also have outdoor activities and space including a small play area. And no visit is complete without stopping for a cake in our celebrated tea room. We have exciting plans to tell the whole story of the city from its ancient past to exploring how and why it was built in the 1970s - stay tuned! Think you know Milton Keynes? Then visit Milton Keynes Museum and think again!

In the Ancient Gallery...

Thank you to everyone who visited the Museum for a first peek at the new Ancient Gallery yesterday! The Gallery will now be open as part of the usual Museum offering when we re-open on Saturday.
This os one of the smart items on display - a gold coin belonging to the Iron age, which pre-dates the Roman invasion. It was minted by the Iron age king Cunobelin, and you can see this and other coins in our interactive coin wheel!

In the Ancient Gallery....

In the coming weeks, we'll be highlighting some of the unexpected items you'll find in our new Ancient Gallery, and we start with this Stone Mace Head, which was found in Bletchley.
Unless the Bletchley Ikea is significantly older than we think, this Scandinavian creation came to MK through trade.
It was a status symbol as well as a weapon.
