Museum Tours

What to expect:

These in-depth tours offer a detailed look at the museum’s stories, from starting life as a Georgian townhouse to the present day. Discover the extraordinary tale of Sir Humphrey Orme and why there is a turtle shell hanging on our walls to how we became home to the first X-ray machine outside of London! Get a glimpse into the museum’s collection that explores Peterborough’s rich and vibrant history and how the city developed over thousands of years, from the Jurassic Era through to the Romans, Anglo Saxons, Napoleonic prisoner of war camps and beyond.
