A programme of temporary exhibitions and special events add to the experience you will enjoy on a visit to Bedford Museum. 

Special Features

The Bedford Memory Bank is a growing collection of digitised photographs and documents contributed by local people and our collections as a record of our cultural heritage. Lunchtime Discovery Sessions features items of special interest from the collections throughout the year.   Reminiscence coffee mornings are held on the first Thursday of each month.  Contact Ann Hagen for details on 01234 353323. 

While you tour the galleries have a go at the growing number of hands on activities - great for family visits.  If you buzz along to the Museum in the Summer months you will see our busy bees in action in the new Bee Observation Hive.  Please click here to view our Virtual Exhibitions.
