The Cowper and Newton Museum

The Museum re-opened on March 1st 2008 after a major re-organisation.

We are in the process of designing a new website which will correspond to the changes at the Museum: in particular it will feature the new room displays and the new artefacts in the collection: it will also play a major role in allowing the Museum to operate as a local history resource for schools. Much of the content of the present site will carry over into the new site, alongside new content.

In the interim, we are making a few changes to the existing site so that it represents the newly organised Museum more accurately. Please bear with during this period of change and improvement. Thanks.
