The Museum of Eton Life
 
The Museum of Eton Life brings alive various aspects of the Eton experience across six centuries. It is housed in an undercroft (地窖) below College Hall, a space that was used to store beer for the scholarship boys until the early 20th century. Established as a museum in 1985, it now houses permanent and temporary displays exploring life at Eton College.
In 2016, the museum launched a new permanent display showcasing materials which illustrated the boarding life of boys at the school in the 21st century. There is also an annually changing display exploring new and different stories and presenting rarely seen objects from the collection.
Visitors can discover Eton’s history and traditions, famous Old Etonians (from poets to Prime Ministers) and sports including the Wall Game, as well as find out about what and where pupils learn, eat and live.
