Very interesting museum on the history of Market Harborough and the nearby Hallaton Treasure

My wife and I enjoyed our visit to this lovely museum on the afternoon of Wednesday, February 18, 2026 after discovering it while exploring Google Maps ahead of our day trip to the town. Free to enter, it is home to an interesting collection of artefacts. The Roman coin collection story was displayed cleverly in a manner which resonated with visitors of all ages. The play area with a dressing up box provided further interest for younger visitors, while adults could enjoy a trip down memory lane admiring the items displayed in the cabinets. This was our inaugural visit to the museum. We will recommend it to others.

Great little museum, modern and informative. Great little touches like extra reading material and a small play area for the kids (however most used the whole place as a playground which became annoying). Was surprised we spent over 2 hours in there, a d could have stayed longer if it hadn't closed at 4pm on a Saturday. The café downstairs was great, with massive drinks at okay prices.

A brilliant museum with so many different types of collections, so lovingly displayed. I went in early September and there was a special exhibition on around Penguin books which was a real treat. The displays on the Hallaton helmet were also a highlight.
