Mansfield Museum Collection – the pieces of our history
Mansfield Museum looks after over 30,000 objects which help to tell the stories of the town and district over the last 2000 years. We have archaeology, art, everyday history, photographs, documents, industrial history, costume and textiles, as well as specimens from the natural world. There’s so much to explore, and we only have space to get a small amount of it out on display at any time.
We are therefore finding other ways to let people discover the items in our stores. The Collection Stories page of the website features blog posts highlighting intriguing objects and fascinating stories from the collection. It’s regularly updated with new research, mystery objects, and exciting artefacts!

At the moment there are only a few objects included, but by 2027 we hope to have thousands of our collection records open to be searched. Feel free to explore and see what sort of things we’ve got behind the scenes!
