List of museums in England facts for kids
Museums in England are amazing places where you can discover history, art, science, and so much more! A museum is like a giant treasure chest filled with interesting objects that tell stories about the past and present. In 2011, there were about 1,600 museums across England, which means there's a huge variety of things to explore.
These museums are important because they help us learn about our culture and heritage. The Museums, Libraries and Archives Council used to be a special group that helped museums in England grow and get better. Now, other organizations continue this important work, often supported by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, which is a part of the government that looks after culture and sports.

Exploring Museums by County
England is divided into different areas called ceremonial counties. This page helps you find museums by looking at which county they are in. It's like having a map that shows you where all the different types of museums are located!
Each county in England has its own unique museums, from big national galleries to smaller local ones that tell the story of a specific town or village. For example, you might find museums about ancient Roman history, famous artists, old trains, or even how people used to live hundreds of years ago.
If you want to find a museum in a specific area, you can usually look up the list of museums for that county. This makes it easy to plan a visit and discover something new and exciting close to where you live or are visiting.
