About This Museum

Tucked away in Oaklands Park, just off Moulsham Street, the Museum of Chelmsford feels like a quiet secret. It's the sort of place where you can spend an afternoon piecing together the city's story, from its Roman roots to its days as a global radio hub. You'll find yourself lost in tales of the Marconi Company and the everyday lives of Essex folk. It’s a real gem for anyone with a curious mind about this corner of Essex.

Collection Highlights

Don't miss the impressive display of Marconi wireless equipment that put Chelmsford on the map. You can also get up close to a beautiful Roman mosaic floor unearthed nearby and explore recreations of old-fashioned shops and parlours.

Visitor Information

Best of all, popping in won't cost you a penny—admission is completely free. They're open Tuesday to Saturday, but it's always wise to check their website for the latest times before you set off.

Architecture & Building

The museum has a wonderfully charming setup, blending the original Victorian house with a sleek, modern extension that gives it more space to tell its stories.
