The Alexander Keiller Museum offers visitors a chance to learn more about the wonderful history and archaeology of Avebury stone circles, from its founding over 4500 years ago, through the turbulent medieval period, to the re-erection of parts during the 1930s and the influence of Alexander Keiller.
