Southend Central Museum

Central Museum is in the heart of Southend on Sea. Home to collections of local and natural history and archaeology. It has a changing programme of exhibitions and events throughout the year. Entry to our exhibitions and building is free.

Central Museum houses the collections of local and natural history and archaeology.

Displays reflect the story of Southend’s growth as a major seaside destination and its rich natural history and fishing heritage.

We are the home of EKCO with extensive collections telling the story of this iconic radio, television and plastics firm.
