Rutland Museum Gets Major Upgrade | Leicester News

Rutland’s historic museum is getting a massive makeover with a new wing featuring event halls, a cafe, a shop, and modern galleries — all funded by a six-million-pound council investment, including £1.5 million from the government’s local regeneration fund. Plans include digital recreations of iconic artifacts like the Rutland Sea Dragon and the Ketton Roman Mosaic, plus expanded educational programs and a renovation of the 18th-century riding school. Originally, the real Sea Dragon fossil was slated for display — but soaring costs led to a digital alternative, ensuring the museum’s ancient stories still take center stage in a more immersive, community-focused future.
