The Museum at St John’s Gate has been open for over a hundred years. The extensive collections include paintings and illuminated manuscripts, rare armour, a bronze cannon given by Henry VIII, ancient coins, decorative furniture, ceramics, silverware and textiles.  Across St John’s Square from the Gate is the Priory Church, with its twelfth century Crypt. The Church and Crypt are open to all visitors during Museum opening hours. The Church’s Priory Gallery features an exhibition on life in the medieval priory and Clerkenwell through the ages.
