Natural History Museum at Tring

Reviewed By LylePL - London, United Kingdom

Besides the incredible collection of almost every type on animal on display, as an architect what impressed me as much was the beautiful building and the fine craftsmanship of the display cabinets. Overall an incredible experience especially with all the Rothschild history involved. I felt as if I was transported by a time machine to a Victorian or a Dickinson era not that I’ve checked if it had anything to do with those times but that’s how I relished the experience.

Ware Museum

Reviewed By therichastill - Stevenage, United Kingdom

Ware Museum is in the High Street and quite visible as you drive down the street. It is currently open two days a week. When I arrived I was encouraged to check in using the Serco Track and Trace app which was not a problem. I was also asked for my details. Going round the museum there is a one way system so you can see everything on display and there are a number of staff in various rooms to tell you about what is on display. Even though the museum is small there is plenty to see and there were a few parties looking around when I went which was good to see. Social distancing was maintained throughout.

Elstree and Borehamwood Museum

THE MUSEUM IS CURRENTLY CLOSE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE BECAUSE OF THE CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK. Elstree and Borehamwood Museum is an independent local history museum which opened its doors in 2000. It evolved out of a community history project with a small collection of objects and photographs. Run entirely by volunteers, the museum has acquired a large collection of items leading to the production of themed displays, talks, workshops for schools and local community groups and answering a busy enquiry service.

North Hertfordshire Museum

North Hertfordshire Museum brings together the collections from the former Letchworth and Hitchin Museums, and illustrates life in the area from prehistory to the present day, with thousands of fascinating objects, and cutting edge interactive displays. The displays include paintings by the Camden Town artists Spencer Gore and William Ratcliffe; a Victorian pharmacy, and rare football items, including Bert Trautmann’s neckbrace and Stanley Matthews’ boots. If you are interested in art, archaeology, natural history, local history or military history, this is the museum for you. We have a superb new Learning Centre for workshops and activities, and a well-appointed Local Studies Centre. There is also a café serving freshly prepared food, and Fair Trade coffee and tea.

Reviewed By C6645CArebeccab - Hertfordshire, United Kingdom

Great to have such a brilliant museum on our doorstep. Interesting displays with interactives for the children (and the adults). Also, a temporary exhibition that changes regularly, at the moment it is beautiful prints by Rembrandt. We had some delicious cake from the cafe and so many goodies to buy from the shop. Not to be missed!
