The Margate Museum is a wonderful local history museum (the building of the Old Town Magistrates Court and the Police Station). It is definitely worth a visit for first time Margate explorers and also for residents with his unique exhibits from the early days to the modern world. Particularly worthy of mention is the museum staff with his wonderful authentic stories about the history of Margate and the unique building. Do not miss the opportunity to visit it as often as possible.

Tried to visit on Sunday when advertised it's open and it was closed. Messaged them to find out when they are open...1 week passed and no response.

I wish they could get funding....it's a brilliant little gem, with masses of history, knowledgeable guides and assistants. It's just that it needs a smart revamping of signage and displays. It's in the heart of the town and has a wealth of information about every aspect. The cells on the ground floor are cram packed with pictures and information, the passages are crowded with more, the stairs up-to the court room packed with pictures and texts. The court room itself has information on everything from archaeological pit excavations to suffragettes and Cobb's Brewery. Give them money for a proper museum building and leave this place as a historic Police Station and Court Room. Otherwise very interesting, I'm just trying to be helpful and give feedback.

The volunteers who staff this museum are absolutely wonderful, a wealth of local knowledge and amusing tidbits. You could spend hours in here or just dip in to get a feel for what Margate's all about, either way a great place to better understand the elements that make up the English seaside town.

Wonderful place full of local history and information. All the people were knowledgeable and passionate about the exhibits. It was only a short trip around, about an hour, but well worth the entrance fee. Would highly recommend to locals and tourists alike

Beautiful surrounding areas along with an amazing experience at the museum, highly recommend for a good day out.

A fascinating museum in a former police station... Very interest building

Lovely little tardis... looks tiny from the outside but in the inside, there is so much to see. Margate is a town with a lot of history, from brewing to banking, sailing to sea water bathing. Could spend a good day at least wandering round the exhibits.

Really interesting museum. Volunteers are super friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Would definitely recommend.

No photos are allowed inside the eclectic mix of exhibits set in a former police station and magistrates court. It includes information about the wars, local sandals, and entertainment in the local area.

Lovely little museum to spend an hour or more.

We visited Margate museum today and what can we say wow! What an amazing experience, the displays are interesting and informative however what really made it for us were the guys inside. The staff were so friendly and were full of extra information and interesting facts about not only the things on display but Margate itself. This has been the highlight of our whole trip. We would 100 percentage recommend.

Super place to learn about local history, some parts of Margate that have gone, and other places like Dreamland that are very much still here. Great value entry fee. Limited opening hours out of season so check before making a special journey.

Great evening

Very helpful and interesting only draw back could do with longer opening days

Interesting small museum based in old police station and courthouse.

Really interesting museum, bigger than it looks outside, very informative volunteers can show you around if you want. 45 minutes well spent.
