Being one of the oldest of England's museums, the collection
contains a great number of objects reflecting the changing
fashions in museum collecting. It contains, as well as
objects of local importance, a range of unusual items
reflecting the Victorian love for what was considered
unusual or 'exotic'. It is also home to the Dover Bronze
Age Boat, the world's oldest known seagoing boat and a
fascinating archaeological discovery.
