Welcome to Nantwich Museum

A warm welcome from the team at Nantwich Museum. We are a small but vibrant Museum exploring the history of the local area.

The Museum can be found on Pillory Street (opposite the pillory) and  near to the heart of  the historic market town of Nantwich, Cheshire.

In 1980 the Museum was set up in what was the town’s former Victorian library.

You can find out about a whole range of things that shaped the town, enjoy one of the temporary art exhibitions or take part in one of our events.

Admission is free.
