Clifton Park Museum
The record breaking Clifton Park Museum is a day out with a difference! One of the most modern and user-friendly Museums in the country, the two time nominated Museum of the year features famous exhibits such as Nelson the Lion and the breath-taking Rhinoceros Vase, the first ever porcelain vase cast in one piece!

Recently redesigned with the help of a £3 million grant, Clifton Park Museum highlights the history of the borough in a way that appeals to all ages and helps to bring both our lives, and those of our ancestors, into sharp focus with the latest in high tech displays and interactive exhibits.
As well as being informative, the museum allows visitors to have a ‘hands-on’ experience of history, with regular cookery sessions on the restored Victorian Range, fun events for all the family, an interactive Jungle playroom for the kids and even the occasional play, complete with period costume!
Entry to the Museum is free. There are full facilities for people with disabilities as well as a family-friendly café and gift shop for the perfect souvenir of your day out.
