Jersey Museum & Art Gallery & Victorian House

About Jersey Musuem

Jersey Museum presents the history of the Island from 250,000 years ago when the first people arrived, and continues through the centuries to explore the factors that have shaped this unique island and the people who live here. Through the museum’s series of captivating and varied exhibitions you will learn why Jersey remained loyal to the English Crown despite being so close to France, listen to Jersey-French being spoken, learn about the Island’s traditional farming industry and watch fascinating archive footage of the early years of tourism.

One of the Museum’s most magnificent exhibitions is the perfectly restored Merchant’s House. The exhibition includes traditional gas lamps and period furniture, enabling you to completely immerse yourself in Victorian life.

The Link Gallery is located at Jersey Museum and is an exhibition space between Jersey Museum to the Société Jersiaise. Each month, the gallery features an exhibition by a different Jersey artist, providing local artists with a central space in St Helier to showcase their work.
