BEYOND THE

CASTLE WALLS

The Windsor and Royal Borough Museum is

dedicated to telling the stories of the lives

of ordinary and extraordinary people who

have made our area what it is today.

What's On

medieval

We host events at the Windsor and Royal Borough Museum throughout the year, helping to bring history to life.

We run family activities every Tuesday and Thursday during school holidays.

Take a look at our Facebook page and museum events for more information.

Visiting

Guildhall

Our museum can be found on the ground floor of Windsor’s Guildhall.

Our collection began in 1951, when local man Maitland Underhill decided to create an exhibition about the history of Windsor, as part of the celebrations for the National Festival of Britain. The exhibition proved so popular, it remained on display in the Guildhall until 1982. The Museum was reopened her Majesty the Queen in the Guildhall in 2011.

Our Collection

inside the museum

Our museum is only large enough to display a tiny part of the full collection.

We are bringing lots of the collection online to help you explore the collection from wherever you are.
