Founded
as the Hertfordshire County Museum in 1898, the Museum of St
Albans tells the story of St Albans from the departure of the
Romans to the present day.
In the medieval gallery you can find out about Alban, Britain's
first Christian martyr, and the Abbey that grew up around the site
of his martyrdom. See objects used by people in
medieval St Albans and learn how they lived.
More fascinating and colourful displays continue the
story of how St Albans developed from
a small market town into a bustling commuter city. Special
displays with a wide range of objects
illustrate everyday life in Victorian St Albans.

A particular attraction is the regular programme of special
exhibitions,
covering a whole range of subjects from Barbie dolls to the Egyptians.
There is also a wide range of activities for people of all ages.
See our diary for more details.
