Athelstan Museum, located in the historic town of Malmesbury, is dedicated to showcasing the rich history of the area, with exhibits ranging from the Iron Age to modern times. Named after King Athelstan, the first King of all England, the museum features notable artifacts including a silver penny from his reign and a watercolour by J.M.W. Turner.

Run entirely by volunteers and operating as a registered charity, Athelstan Museum also hosts special exhibitions and events, such as the ongoing display about the Warden and Freemen of Malmesbury. Additionally, the museum offers a venue for hire in the Julia and Hans Rausing Building, a converted Moravian Church, complementing its community-focused mission.
