Windsor Guildhall Museum

About

Windsor Guildhall Museum is the jewel in the Royal Borough's crown.  Explore Windsor's local heritage and visit the room where Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla were married.

The museum is a family-friendly and bursting with interesting facts and interactive displays on the history of the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead.  This includes an audio trail of stories told by local residents about their lives and the changing landscape of Windsor.

The museum offers a look into its unique and varied collection, from a 100,000-year-old Mammoth tusk to a model of a Hawker Hurricane, the plane designed by Windsor-born Sir Sydney Camm.

As a part of your visit, you will see the splendid upstairs rooms of the Grade I listed Windsor Guildhall, including the Ascot Room where Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla were married.  You will also see a collection of portraits of monarchs since Elizabeth I and learn about the civic history of Windsor.
