Launched in 2009 the Wiltshire Treasures website allows you to search the catalogues of eleven museums in Wiltshire, along with the art and photographic collections owned by Wiltshire Council.


Example of a search on Wiltshire Treasures for all items made of mahogany in Market Lavington Museum!

There are more than 160,000 records to search containing items ranging from prehistoric flint tools to a 1960’s dolls house. The site is easy to use and searches can either be carried out by keyword, topic, place, date or name.
