Welcome to Rutland County Museum

Rutland County Museum and Visitor Centre is the perfect introduction to England’s smallest county. The museum displays tell the story of the county, and are complemented by exhibits of archaeology, history and rural life.

The museum also has a varied and exciting programme of Exhibitions and Events.

Our new exhibition 'Rutland’s Phoenix: The Archives of the Noel Family of Exton Park, Rutland' commences on Saturday 27th April and runs until Saturday 1st June.

Can you help Rutland County Museum to commemorate the First World War?

2014 will mark 100 years since the start of the First World War and, like many organisations across the country, Rutland County Museum is planning to commemorate this anniversary. If you can help us in anyway, we would love to hear from you, see our WWI Centenary Project page for futher information.
