Marvel of the Month
 The collection at the Windsor & Royal Borough Museum is large and varied. As well as preserving objects from the past we are also thinking about what may be valuable for the future.

Our newest addition to our collection is the Monopoly Royal Windsor Edition.

We are also collecting oral histories from local residents to capture stories and memories of Windsor life.

If you know of anyone who has a good story to tell please do get in touch with us at museum@rbwm.gov.uk .
