Dover Museum and Bronze Age Boat Gallery

If in Dover it's a must see , intresting museum and to see the bronze age boat is incredible

Quite, an interesting little spot in Dover, that has a lot to offer. Firstly the main thing people should know, at least when I went was that admission was 100% free to see it, good start.The first room is a short walk around of the Kent area from the Stone Age to the time of the Anglo-Saxon with the Roman Conqeust between the two. Just a small thing but still informative.Next when going up the stairs they had posters and other memorabilia, of channel crossing from swimmers that had attempted to do it, just a little extra when going between rooms.The second floor has some little things of pop culture and bits on what people filled their time with through out history from Rome to the Victorian Era.The third floor has their Bronze Age ship along with plenty of information not only about the ship but about the Bronze Age in general, if you want to know a lot more about the Bronze Age and your in the area, this is the place to go.Finally the last big room was a retrospective of Dover and its time through out history starting with the Norman Conquest, going all the way to the Second World War, another big thing going for them is if you want to see how Dover progressed through time with most of English history this is the place.Overall very good experience with lot of information for a quick walk between the beach and the center of town, though the Castle had much more overall, if you need something more low key or don't want to hike to the the Castle or pay the fee, this is a good place if you need a fix for a Muesem.

First of all, very friendly staff so thank you. I honestly did not know much about Dover's history and this was very informative. Please enjoy some of the pics i took today ❤️Btw descriptions were very helpful and clear and i loved the audio-visual illustrations

Being from Dover and having been to the long since retired White Cliffs Experience" it is a former shadow of its former glory.The Boat itself is a marvel and the presentation reminded me of the Mary Rose (albeit on a much smaller scale).It's good to see a broad range of curated items in this fairly small museum but it I am saddened that a very historic and important town such as Dover has not had the investment to create something that celebrates that history on a bigger scale. It does lead to the conclusion that perhaps the collection would be better homed in the Castle up the hill

I love it here! There's great interesting things to read , interactive games in the boat section , and so much more! Some of my personal favorite exhibits are the boat exhibit. I also love the stuffed polar bear. It gives you a proper idea of how big they are!!

After visiting Dover Castle and the White Cliffs, we came back to the Tourist Information Center and the Museum. The museum is really a gem. It is so well organized on 3 levels. The story of the bronze aged boat is fascinating. The museum should be a must see" for those wanting to know more about the Dover area. A bonus is that it is free! Thank you

A good museum in the heart of Dover which is free. A well designed and very interesting and informative museum that tells you all about the history of Dover with the very impressive Bronze Age boat as its centrepiece. My only criticism is that I am pretty sure they haven't updated the exhibitions for about 20-25 years and although on the whole it holds up well, some elements are beginning to show their age.

One of the best museums I have visited, there was no wait at all. Walked in, and this was before knew it was free. There is a simple lay out of the floor, I think it’s over three floors. There is a lot of history in one place, additionally there was a puzzle to try and sort but it was hard to solve it. But it was a good challenge and hopefully next time I visit, we can accomplish the challenge. Even though it was hot, the room was at a good temperature

Visited April 12, 2019: Lovely museum showcasing local history, including those reaching back to thousands of years ago, and especially the city's significant contributions to the war effort.
