Letchworth Museum & Art Gallery occupies an attractive Edwardian building facing Broadway Gardens, in the centre of Letchworth, beside the Library.

The museum has four main galleries. Downstairs you can see local wildlife displayed in realistic settings, and find out about the famous Letchworth Black Squirrel. Halfway up the stairs is the small Mezzanine Gallery, and further on is the main Art Gallery - these both have monthly changing exhibitions.

The "Before the Garden City" Gallery shows the archaeology of the people who have lived in this area for the past 200,000 years, from prehistory to 1903: don't miss the treasures of our local Iron Age chieftain. On your way out, visit the museum shop. The museum has a lively programme of events, workshops and demonstrations throughout the year, and welcomes approaches from potential exhibitors.
