Things to do

The museum is set over three floors and contains state-of-the-art gallery space to showcase 2000 years of heritage and display contemporary artworks. It has regularly changing exhibitions and cutting-edge art installations - for a fresh experience with every visit.

The Museum aims to share local and national treasures with all visitors, this includes the fascinating history of the building. The old Town Hall was restored to provide exhibition space and the Octagonal Courtroom and subterranean cells preserved for the enjoyment of future generations.

Visitors can soak up the atmosphere and learn how these unique spaces were used, including dramatic stories of law and order in the district. The cells where defendants were once held lead up directly to the dock in the courtroom. Guests can experience what it may have felt like to stand as the accused or oversea the court proceedings from the Judge's chair.
