Learn about life in days gone by within the beautiful
surroundings of Hartlebury Castle.
Worcestershire County Museum is housed in the north wing of
Hartlebury Castle. The building was home to the Bishops of
Worcester for over 1,000 years and has experienced many
architectural changes, a Civil War siege and numerous royal
visits.
The museum exhibits a nationally important collection of
colourful Gypsy caravans, beautiful costume, social history,
archaeology, travel & transport, examples from ‘The Bromsgrove
Guild’, toys through time and galleries which explore the
intriguing story of Worcestershire's past. Visitors can also see
room sets such as the schoolroom and scullery, 
which are
regularly brought to life by visiting schoolchildren and period
rooms that focus on the Victorian and Civil War eras. A large
amount of our Collection is kept in stores - if you wish to view a
stored item please contact our Collections Officers for more
