Hertford Museum holds over 60,000 amazing historic objects in the collection that illustrate the story of our county town and the surrounding area. These have been collected from the 1880s onwards by the founders of the museum and a century of custodians and curators.
We have received a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (£985,000) to improve our services to the local community and part of this will be completely new, semi-permanent displays which will tell the story of the town. We have already selected the objects we would like to use, but many of them require some conservation work prior to going on display.
Our annual conservation budget is only £500 so we need YOUR help to conserve these fascinating objects, ranging from an Ice Age Mammoth tusk to Victorian Pub Signs.
Adopters will receive an adoption certificate, regular updates about the conservation of the item, invited to the formal opening of the museum, acknowledged in the display next to the object. Those who contribute in excess of £201 will also be invited to see the object prior to the new display and receive a tour of our stores. 'Adopt an Object' also makes a great gift!
