About
Since 1865 we have celebrated Northampton locally, and internationally with our shoe collection. We are proud to be a vibrant space for all people and we continue to be free for all. We aim to inspire discussion, debate and social interaction – a place where everyone is welcome, whether for an exhibition visit, a specific event or meeting up with friends in the café.
Northampton Museum and Art Gallery
We have provided a cultural space for the people of Northampton and beyond for more than 150 years.
Abington Park Museum
This much loved venue, located in a beautiful park, was gifted to the people of Northampton in 1897.
The story of the gaol
The story of the museum building begins with crime and punishment and 300 prisoners.
The story of a Tudor manor house
Abington Manor is more than 500 years old and has been a farm, a family home, asylum and now a museum.
Northampton Museum and Art Gallery and Abington Park Museum are provided by West Northamptonshire Council.
