Windsor & Royal Borough Museum

The jewel in the Royal Borough’s crown. We’re a family friendly museum bursting with interesting facts and interactive displays on the Royal Borough and its residents. When available we offer guided tours of Windsor Guildhall where portraits of monarchs adorn our walls. Your ordinarily is our extraordinary. Keep exploring online until we open again.

This is a small single room museum on the ground floor of the Windsor Guildhall building close to the Castle. There’s a small entry fee of just £2, but it’s well worth paying to see a fascinating collection of objects connected with the town and its long history. There are also useful information boards all round the room with photographs and explanations. There’s an area in the centre with various things to keep children amused. Loved this tiny museum, which does a great job in a very limited space.

Eton College Natural History Museum

The Museum was opened in 1875 and has 16,000 objects. It is Berkshire's only dedicated Natural History Museum. We have large collections of stuffed birds, mammals, fossils, and butterflies and moths. The Museum celebrates the life of Sir Joseph Banks: peer into his cabin on board HMB Endeavour and explore the museum to find exquisite prints of the plants he discovered on his epic voyage.

I cross the Thames over into Eaton on Saturday evening it was a lovey break from the hustle and bustle of Windsor .... very quaint street with beautiful hanging baskets outside the shops. Lovely bars and restaurants ..... I found this place enchanting.
