Dover Museum and Bronze Age Boat Gallery — Attraction in Dover

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...

It was an interesting experience to visit this museum. The Dover Museum was indeed much more than just a local history and archaeology museum. Situated in the town centre of Dover, Britain’s historic port town, this modern museum tells the fascinating story of this rich and important area. Dover itself was an important crossing point between England and Europe at least since the bronze era which started in Britain since 2,000 years before our common era. Various artefacts are displayed in this museum, comprising the neolithic period, iron and bronze age, roman occupancy, the anglo-saxon period until the norman regime, from this area. As its jewel, this museum hosts a prehistoric wooden boat thought to be some 3,500 years old. This boat was found under the old harbour of Dover, where it was assumed that the Roman empire forces arrived in the year 43. The boat however is older than the roman occupation. The museum is free...
