Dover Museum is much more than just a local history and archaeology museum. Situated in the town centre of Dover, Britain’s historic port town, this modern museum tells the story of this rich and important area.
Dover Museum and Bronze Age Boat Gallery also houses a major international archaeological discovery.
In September 1992, archaeologists from the Canterbury Archaeological Trust working alongside contractors on a new road link between Dover and Folkestone discovered the remains of a large wooden prehistoric boat thought to be some 3,000 years old, belonging to a period known to archaeologists as the Bronze Age.
It was a find of both national and international significance which will shed new light on early seafaring and woodworking skills in Northern Europe.
