About

An accredited museum in southwest London funded by Andrew Carnegie, featuring three permanent exhibitions on the borough's prehistory to Anglo-Saxon past, medieval development as a market town, and the photographer Eadweard Muybridge.

Free entry funded by Andrew Carnegie. Three permanent exhibitions cover prehistory, medieval Kingston, and photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Small but thoughtfully done and well-curated. Children aged 6+ interested in local history may engage. Not a major draw but good if you are already in Kingston.
