Cuming Museum
155 - 157 Walworth Road, London SE17

The Cuming Museum, located on the first floor of a public library, houses the Cuming Collection and illustrates the history of Southwark. 

On his fifth birthday in 1782 Richard Cuming was given a old coin and some fossils and this inspired him to become a collector.  

Opened in 1906, the Cuming Collection was dubbed 'the British Museum in miniature' but a World War II bomb put an end to such ambitions. 

As well as housing the Cuming Collection, this small museum also illustrates the history of Southwark, from the Romans occupation to its recent regeneration.
