Amersham Museum celebrates two anniversaries!

25 years since the purchase of 49 High Street - our historic Tudor hall house

And 30 years of collecting local history!

In 2010 we are celebrating the start of our museum collection and all those who worked to save the unique Tudor hall house, which is now our home.

New for 2010

• A special exhibition 'From Our Attic' displays some of our more unusual collections and the story of the restoration work on 49 High Street.
• On display for the first time the wonderful collage of Amersham buildings made by the Old Amersham Women's Institute in 1980 - we'd love to hear from anyone who was involved in sewing or embroidering this piece.
• Contrasts - a photographic display of Amersham with images from the 19th century by George Ward and the 21st century by members of the Amersham Photographic Society. See a different side of the town and how it has changed.
• First glimpse into our newly restored privy at the end of the garden - how life used to be in Victorian Amersham!

And don't miss our award winning herb garden, Tudor display, special exhibitions of Amersham Toys and local history.

New opening times from 6th March to 31st October 2010

• Every Saturday, Sunday & Bank Holiday Monday afternoon (2.00 - 4.30pm)
• And every Wednesday and Thursday afternoon (2.00 - 4.30pm) in May, June. July, August and September 2010

Look out for more information on special activities, offers and events at the museum throughout the year in the local press and here on our website.
