The museum is situated in the beautiful landscape of Wardown Park.

Visitors can enjoy special exhibitions and an extensive programme of events throughout the year. Highlights include the Luton Life gallery, the nationally important Lace Collection, the Shillington Hoard and the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regimental Gallery. There is a small tea room which serves drinks and snacks. The museum shop sells souvenirs, local history publications and old photographs.

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.
