Welcome to Rutland County Museum
Rutland County Museum and Visitor Centre is the perfect introduction to England’s smallest county. Th
e museum displays tell the story of the county, and are complimented by exhibits of archaeology, history and rural life.
The museum has a varied and exciting programme of Exhibitions and Events. In addition to our own exhibits our new visiting exhibition, courtesy of Lanham Village History Group, focuses on 'Life in 17th Century Langham'. This opens officially on January 28th and runs until March.
The Visitor Information Area holds the latest information about other events and activities in the area and you can relax in our Award Winning Garden.
We have our innovative Live @TheMuseum programme featuring Live performance and regular film screenings. Have a look at our Museum newsletter to get a flavour of just how much goes on here.
