Ipswich Museum

Ipswich Museum was established in the 1840s and relocated to its current site in the 1880s. Over the years, it has become a significant hub for arts, science, and learning, showcasing a wide range of exhibits that reflect both local and global history.

The museum is currently undergoing an extensive redevelopment project, with plans to reopen in 2026. This transformation aims to enhance visitor experience by modernising exhibitions, improving accessibility, and creating new interactive displays. The redevelopment will also focus on preserving the museum’s rich heritage while incorporating contemporary elements to engage a wider audience. By the time it reopens, Ipswich Museum is expected to offer a revitalised space that celebrates its past while embracing the future of museum experiences.

This investment ensures that future generations can continue to learn from and be inspired by the museum’s diverse collections and educational programs.

We will do our best to keep our Website up-to-date, you can stay up to date with what’s going on whilst the museum is closed with our blog here.
