Peterborough Museum & Art Gallery

Explore the archaeology, art and social history of Peterborough and its fen-edge landscape in a historic city-centre building.

The museum brings together archaeology, fine art and the everyday lives of people who shaped the city. Its collections place Peterborough within the wider fen-edge landscape, from prehistoric discoveries to more recent social history. The building itself has a long history, adding another layer to the visit. Take time to connect objects in the galleries with the streets, waterways and communities outside: the museum is a useful introduction to the city before exploring its historic centre and surrounding countryside.
