:Hereford Museum and Art Gallery is housed in a spectacular Victorian gothic building. The museum has been exhibiting artefacts and works of fine and decorative art connected with the local area since 1874. Although the exterior of the building has changed very little, the museum and gallery have kept up with the times. Today the museum is full of interesting local history with interactive elements for all the family. Exhibits highlight Herefordshire's local culture, its heritage in farming and production, the natural environment and its special place as a border county. Come and find out how life has changed here over the centuries. | |||
