Refurbishments
North Hertfordshire Museum opened in 2019. We have four galleries for you to visit: downstairs explore the Discovering North Hertfordshire Gallery, which deals with the history of the district from geological times to the present day, and our Exhibition Gallery, with a range of exhibitions, from fine art to exhibitions aimed at children (past shows include Rembrandt etchings, Diane Arbus photos and Camden Town paintings, as well as The BFG in Pictures, The World of Peter Rabbit and The Tiger who came to Tea). Upstairs discover how people’s lives have changed over time in the Living in North Hertfordshire Gallery. The Terrace Gallery displays items from our football collection, our world cultures collection, a taste of our art collections, as well as local suffrage. You can watch animations of folklore tales and view local artworks in the Arches Gallery, part of the Terrace Gallery. Our museum shop sells books, gifts, and souvenirs, and we have a good cafe serving a variety of food, and hot and cold drinks. Admission is free.
