The museum, which was founded in 1855 and occupies premises built in 1880, shows how the area has developed from the earliest times.
Of particular interest are displays on hops and brewing. The Allen Gallery houses a display of English, Continental and Far Eastern pottery, porcelain and tiles.
Look out for The Wild Escape at museums and galleries in the next few months. Many have special events, or you can use our audio introduction to help children get involved at any cultural venue.
Visiting with children?
Use our audio introduction to inspire a visit to any museum, gallery or historic house local to you. Then, just send us your child’s animal artwork when it's finished and we'll add it to the epic collective artwork that launches on Earth Day 2023.
The more you see, the more we do.
The National Art Pass lets you enjoy free entry to hundreds of museums, galleries and historic places across the UK, while raising money to support them.
