Malton Museum is an archaeological museum based in Malton, North Yorkshire. [1]
The museum first opened in 1935 in the Milton Rooms. By 1982 the collection had expanded and the museum relocated to Malton Town Hall, where it was run by volunteers. [1] This building was leased at a nominal rate from the local council; the expiration of this lease in April 2012 forced the closure of the museum at this site due to the prohibitive cost of the commercial leasing rates that it faced. [2]
In 2013 the museum reopened in two rooms in The Subscription Rooms. [1]
In 2015 the museum employed its first paid member of staff in over 85 years thanks to a successful grant of £87,775 from Arts Council England for the 'Vivat Fido!' project. [3] [4]
The core collection is formed from the results of the first excavations at the Roman fort at Malton ( Derventio) between 1927 and 1930 by Philip Corder and John Kirk. [5]
The current museum collections consists of approximately 1,110 boxes of objects, of which 96% is archaeological in nature. Approximately 4% of the collection is viewable on display at any one time. [6]
