The Museum at 3 East Street, just off the High Street, is the ‘town museum’ for Rye. With exhibits on all the traditional local industries – pottery, ship building, hop picking – much of the Rye Museum Association’s collection is on display here. The museum houses one of the best hop token collections anywhere in the country and a generous assortment of Rye pottery, from Medieval to modern. And much more.
