National Gas Museum
Two hundred years of energy
The National Gas Museum displays historic objects collected by Britain’s nationalised gas industry, mostly in the 1960s and 1970s. We have around 4,000 objects drawn from several former regions of British Gas and donated by individuals. We also have a large collection of photographs, books and other material relating to gas, and visitors are welcome to explore the archive by appointment. Highlights of our collection on display at the Museum, and like most museums we have extra material in store, available for research or on loan.
The National Gas Museum Trust is a charity, set up in 1997.
