About
After a £2 million extension and complete redisplay (made possible by a major Heritage Lottery Fund grant), Epping Forest District Museum is now open. The newly redeveloped museum features seven galleries all with exciting new displays, step free access throughout the building and on-site collections storage allowing visitors to see behind the scenes for the first time.The museum's rich and diverse collections are now at the heart of the site with a new gallery, 'The Core Gallery.' This gallery reveals the fascinating story of the museum's collection in a cabinet of curiosities, filled with objects. Within this area are views through into the new collections storage space giving visitors the opportunity to peer behind the scenes into the art and costume stores and see people at work caring for the collection.
Step back in time and experience the museum's fascinating collections from the medieval bible to a stunning Tudor panelled room, from the mammoth tusk to a World War II gas mask.
Along with the new display areas there will be a programme of events and activities for groups, including tours, behind the scenes visits, temporary exhibitions and talks.
