Hertford Museum Blog

We love seeing familiar faces visiting the museum and so we try to make sure that whenver you visit there will be something new to see or do.

Our Hertingfordbury exhibition will be closing soon and we’re gong to have an exhibition of paintings by local artist Lionel Horsnell and of course there are always our events and children’s activities but if you look carefully you’ll see that there are other new objects and displays to find as well.

With the closure of the old Hertford Library building we were given the library clock to add to our collection and we’ve found a space for it upstairs in our galleries. There’s lots of information about its maker and its life at the library and its still ticking away if you want to come and visit it!

We’ve also recently added a framed picture of the Panshanger Oak to our stairwell- a lasting legacy from our Hertingfordbury exhibition.

Those are both permanent additions to our galleries there is also a new display in the small case behind our Reception.

One of our volunteers, Ben, came to us after studying for an MA in Classical Art and Archaeology from King’s College London and he has chosen some special objects from our collection for a display on antiquities. There are Greek, Roman & Egyptian objects on display so come take a look!
