Hello
Welcome to the website of Rye Castle Museum, a charity and an Accredited museum, situated in beautiful Rye, East Sussex. There is lots to explore! Our two museum sites, RCM East Street and RCM Ypres Tower, are just a short walk apart in the medieval town of Rye. Our exhibits tell the stories of the history of Rye, its inhabitants and the surrounding area. We have lots of interesting books on these subjects for sale on our bookstalls at both sites too.
The Ypres Tower is open daily throughout the year — and continues to welcome record numbers of visitors. The East Street Museum is open at weekends from April until October.
