Egham Museum

About

THE MUSEUM IS NOW OPEN!

The Egham Museum is an independent community museum located in the Literary Institute in the High Street, fondly known as The Lit. Please note, the Museum is located on the First Floor and does not have a lift.

Serving the communities of Egham, Egham Hythe, Englefield Green, Thorpe and Virginia Water, we explore the history of the local area from its earliest settlers in the Neolithic and Bronze Ages to the present day.

Visit the Museum to discover what led King John to seal the Magna Carta at nearby Runnymede, how Thomas Holloway made the fortune that established his namesake College and Sanatorium and which Le Mans winning cars were built on the Causeway to Staines.
