There’s nowhere quite like Deal...
… but thankfully it still retains its historic heart. Deal Museum provides opportunities for individuals and families to explore, enjoy and be inspired by the past – in and around Deal – and will promote learning and research at all levels. Ours is a shared history, and one we are keen to preserve for future generations.
We welcome involvement and contributions from the community and seek to celebrate the area’s rich history with all.
Our Collections
The Museum has four distinct areas for you to discover. We have been collating, curating and protecting artefacts for over 50 years telling Deal’s story and adding depth and colour to our understanding of the past.
