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.
