Dover Museum is a local history and archaeology museum situated in the town centre of Dover, Britain's historic port town.  Dover is a 22 mile drive from the Hornby Visitor Centre in Margate through the Kent countryside.

It is home to the Dover Bronze Age Boat, the world's oldest known seagoing boat and a fascinating archaeological discovery.
