Rochester Guildhall, Grade I listed local museum in Rochester, England.
The Rochester Guildhall Museum occupies a three-story building with painted plaster ceilings, decorative oil paintings, and a red-carpeted central staircase at 17 High Street.
The structure, dating from 1687, opened as a museum in 1897 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee and continues to preserve regional heritage.
The museum displays a collection of civic silver, regalia from Medway's past, and the largest assemblage of 18th-century cabinet maker's tools in the world.
The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Saturday between 10 AM and 5 PM, with educational programs available for school groups by contacting 01634 332680.
Within its walls stands a full-scale reconstruction of a Medway prison hulk section, alongside a 200,000-year-old touchable stone axe for hands-on learning.
