General Enquiries

We have now started a major project to refurbish and extend the Museum’s East Wing. A requirement of this project is that many of our collections currently housed in the East Wing must be removed to other collection stores.  Our curatorial staff and their volunteers are engaged in packing and removing many thousands of items from this area.  Our sincere apologies for any disappointment and inconvenience caused when trying to contact staff.

If you are not sure who you need to contact with your enquiry, then please
telephone reception on: 01622 602838/9
or email: museuminfo@maidstone.gov.uk
