Museum devoted to the region's heritage, featuring historical apparel, archaeological finds & more.
Guernsey Museums & Galleries is part of the Committee for Education, Sport & Culture in the States of Guernsey. The Bailiwick of Guernsey is a British Crown Dependency located in the Channel Islands and includes the islands of Alderney, Sark, Herm and Jethou.
The Museums Service cares for the islands' core collections relating to archaeology, art, natural history and social history. Objects not on display are kept in our reserve collection stores, which may be visited by prior arrangement. We also manage and maintain some 80 historic sites, including Castle Cornet and Fort Grey and have responsibility for field archaeology.
Guernsey Museums & Galleries is a member of the Museums Association and is Accredited under the UK scheme administered by Arts Council England, that sets nationally agreed standards for museums. Our accredited museums comprise Guernsey Museum & Art Gallery, Fort Grey Shipwreck Museum plus Castle Cornet and its five museums. These are all accredited Visitor Attractions under the VAQAS scheme. The Guernsey Telephone Museum closed in 2011. Other museums which operate in Guernsey do not fall under our responsibility.
