Museum Aims

The museum opened in September 2000 as a millennium project for Chobham village, to provide a focus for the community.

The museum founders set out the following aims:

To provide a focus for the community which reflects the past, present and future of Chobham and the surrounding area.
To establish, and provide access to, a collection of items, artefacts, documents etc. which reflect the above aims, and to provide a convenient location for the secure display and storage of such items.
To provide opportunities for the advancement of public education and interest in Chobham and the surrounding area.
To arrange, from time to time, displays / exhibitions / activities which focus on a specific aspect(s) of local interest.
To promote, encourage or undertake research and disseminate the results of such research.

To liaise and co-operate with other bodies having similar aims and objectives.
