Welcome to Chertsey Museum
the Borough Museum for Runnymede
Chertsey Museum first opened to the public in 1965, displaying a collection of local history items, photographs, paintings, clocks, furniture and a large collection of Mycenaean, Cypriot, Italian and Greek pots.
Since then the collections have grown and now we have a fine collection of items exploring the history of the Runnymede area. They range from local archaeology and the history of Chertsey Abbey, fine and decorative art, to social history items, a large collection of documents and photographs, and the nationally significant Olive Matthews Collection of Dress and Textiles.
