Wiltshire Museum

Our Mission is to inspire people to explore the archaeology, history and environment of Wiltshire. The Wiltshire Museum has been located in the historic market town of Devizes since 1874 and contains the largest collection of Early Bronze Age gold ever put on public display in England. Award-winning displays transform public understanding of the era and feature 500 Stonehenge period objects, including 30 pieces of gold treasure, together with archaeology, art, natural history, local history, and an Archive and Library which is open to the public. The Museum is housed in Georgian and Victorian buildings – all Grade II listed - in a residential area of similar buildings. We have a platform lift for those not able to manage the staircases. More information about our facilities can be found in our Access page. The Museum is open throughout the year for visitors and researchers and in addition to the permanent galleries offers a variety of events, lectures and special exhibitions for all ages.
