Letchworth Museum and Art Gallery Museums

Letchworth Museum & Art Gallery occupies an attractive Edwardian building facing Broadway Gardens, in the centre of Letchworth, beside the Library.

The museum has four main galleries. Downstairs you can see local wildlife displayed in realistic settings, and find out about the famous Letchworth Black Squirrel.

Halfway up the stairs is the small Mezzanine Gallery, and further on is the main Art Gallery - these both have monthly changing exhibitions.

The "Before the Garden City" Gallery shows how people have lived in this area for the past 200,000 years from pre-history to 1903; don't miss the treasures of our local Celtic chieftain. On your way out, visit the museum shop.

The museum has a lively programme of events, workshops and demonstrations throughout the year, and welcomes approaches from potential exhibitors.
