Herefordshire Museums & Galleries
including civic and independent art galleries and museums in Herefordshire...
Museums long ago ceased to be stuffy rooms full of glass cases containing bits of old pottery and fossilised bones. Today even most conventional museums include changing displays but over recent years there has been a
growth in industrial and "living" museums. Here you can learn about local heritage, get a feel for how people lived and worked, the hardships they endured...
Galleries listed include not just civic galleries displaying publicly owned artworks, but also privately owned galleries with items for sale.
