Vale & Downland Museum

The Vale & Downland Museum is located in the busy market town of Wantage in Oxfordshire, UK. The museum has been nationally acclaimed as an outstanding example of community partnership. The range of services is very broad ranging, from galleries interpreting the cultural heritage and natural history of the Vale of the White Horse region, to exhibitions of local artists' work, and events and activities for all ages and interests. We also have a café with a delightful terrace and garden, as well as a gift shop selling a wide range of gifts and local interest books. The museum also acts as a springboard for residents and visitors to enjoy and appreciate the villages and countryside around Wantage. Admission to the museum galleries is free but we welcome donations (suggested donation of £2 per adult, £1 per child).
