We are really excited to announce that following our major redevelopment, we are now open! Petersfield Museum is an independent charity that does not receive regular government or local authority funding. We therefore depend heavily upon the support of visitors who pay admission, to help with the on-going running costs of the Museum.
We are currently operating under certain conditions including timed entry slots, social distancing and overall limits on visitors in the Museum at any one time. Our primary aim is to keep our visitors, volunteers and staff safe. Fascinating insight into our town's history - especially the development of the archaeology on the Heath which we often pass!

About
Report
Welcome to Petersfield Museum, emerging proudly into the bright light of day after a stunning 4 million expansion and refurbishment. In 1999 the Petersfield Area Historical Society opened the doors of its museum in the former Courthouse where it displayed its social history collection. Thanks to the generous bequest of local solicitor Freddie Standfield, a professional Curator could be employed six years later.
Pathways into the Past
Report
The National Lottery Heritage funded project shows our buildings, exhibitions and programmes transformed as well as the addition of two new galleries in which we can take travelling exhibitions from national museums, a cafe and outdoor space in the courtyard, a new Edward Thomas Study Centre and much more.
Facilities
Report
We have made every effort to ensure that the site is accessible and friendly to all, but a certain point on the museum journey, wheelchair users will use an alternative route to enter the next stage of the Museum because of steps. Further guidance is available at the Welcome Desk or by contacting the Museum in advance.
