Worcestershire County Museum

Worcestershire County Museum is a local museum at Hartlebury Castle in Hartlebury, Worcester, England, run by the Worcestershire County Museum Service, part of the Worcestershire County Council.[1]

In 1964, the north wing of Hartlebury Castle was taken over by Worcestershire County Council for the creation of a County Museum and the museum was opened to the public in 1966.

The collections include archaeological items, costumes, domestic objects, and toys.[2] There are also a Victorian schoolroom and a Transport Gallery. Other facilities include a nature reserve, cafe, and gift shop.[3]
