The Museum's Collections
Did you know there are over
200,000 objects in the
Museum's collection?
You can see many of these in our fascinating exhibitions and
events. They range from the most amazing Napoleonic bone palace to
the largest fossil fish, not forgetting the mesmerizing mummified
rat!
The collection covers a great range of objects of national and
international importance, such as the Norman Cross prisoner of war
craft work, the Jurassic marine reptiles, finds from Roman
Peterborough and the original manuscripts of the famous poet John
Clare.
You can also find out about the everyday life of
Peterborough's people, past and present through the Social History
collection.
