General Information
Cultural collections description
The Museum of Croydon reopened in October 2006 with new displays. Each collection of objects in the museum now has a touchscreen attached with deeper information about the objects on display. This also exists as a website - allowing you to virtually browse the museum.
We've added some links below that particularly relate to the diversity of Croydon, but recommend that you look around the website and museum yourself, and find some of the subtler stories that lie behind the objects. Click the link below, and choose 'themes' to begin to browse.
