Excellent museum themed around Dickens. Cheaper than the other site in Rochester and combines with an exposition of local history. All housed in a beautiful building with friendly, helpful staff. Thoroughly recommended.

We visited with a group of students from Adult education and they all enjoyed it very much. Jeremy was such an awesome presenter grabbing everyone ‘s attention and teaching us so much about the history of Medway estuary and its artefacts . Thank you very much ! P

Positive experience: came with little one and family Valentine’s Day nice quote museum with view inside ship from 1800 and stories about Chatham dock etc very interesting insight and yearly pass for 2 adults and 2 children cost only £10 wowzers staff very lovely and friendly welcoming. Our little one’s fav spot now apart from hornimans museum and Greenwich museum must see if you’re in Kent with family and loved ones

A lovely museum that is quite big. You got 2 floors with different things on and a basement downstairs showing the life of the prisoners on the boat. Upstairs you have another exhibition about soldiers during the time and a boat that changes when you turn the bottom and then Upstairs you had sailing boats on display. Plus there was another room I couldn't get to see because the floor was being done and there is also a gift shop if you want to buy a souvenir. I really enjoyed my visit there and found it very informative. Plus the staff are friendly and helpful.

For a free museum, we had a great time and I'd well say that it's worth a visit. He spent a good hour walking round the whole place, and a lot of the exhibits were interactive, so it was a great place to bring kids. Some of the historical torture stuff involving the dockside prisons might be a bit strong for children, so visit with caution. The preservation of the old paintings and artifacts from the towns is particularly good for any history buffs.
