Windsor Community Museum

Built in the early 1800s by François Baby in the Georgian style of architecture with its two symmetrically lined windows and dormer windows and thick brick walls, the Baby House or now better known as the premises of the Windsor Community Museum is a national heritage and represents the humble beginnings of the city of Windsor and its neighbouring villages. The house has been through its fair share of history, survived through wars and fires, stood its ground through its many masters and renovations and is only a fitting location to house close to 14,000 three dimensional artefacts related to the origins of Windsor and surrounding area. 

The house that now represents a Victorian style of architecture due to the many renovations and restructurings it underwent though the years, was officially opened to the public by Her Majesty the Queen on the 9th of December 2011 as Windsor and Royal Borough Museum. It houses a large collection of artefacts including pre-historic tools from the Bronze Age, Roman and Saxon artefacts, books paintings, textiles, prints and photographs from before the Victorian era up till the present day. It also consists of objects from the Second World War and the 1950s. Objects from the original Baby house still can be seen within the house and close to 300 artefacts that mostly include photographs and documents that do not use much space is added to the collection each year. 

The building has been registered as a family friendly and a Grade 1 building and it convenient location makes it a good place to enjoy a few stories from the past and spend a quiet evening consumed by the splendour and hardships of the forefathers of this historic city and its surroundings. It is also the perfect place to reflect and ponder on the many developments and changes that the human race has undergone and to determine where exactly we stand now when compared to man 200 years ago.
