In 2022, the Egham Museum will be sharing an exciting and varied programme of events, activities and exhibitions (online and in person!)
Under the banner of “Tourism, Trinkets & Trade”, this programme will explore heritage of Egham and the surrounding area as a destination for tourists and traders alike, supported by ongoing work to share more of the museum collection with the community to which it belongs.
Stay tuned for more information coming soon!
As an independent charity, we rely on sponsorship and partnership to make this work possible, so if your business would like to support your local community this year, get in touch with Amy on curator@eghammuseum.org
If you like what you see and would like to support our ongoing work, please consider a donation.
