About the Museum

Watford Museum is a local museum in Watford, Hertfordshire, in the United Kingdom. It is owned by Watford Borough Council. It is temporarily closed to the public while the collection is being relocated from its former home on the Lower High Street in Watford to Watford Town Hall. The museum opened in 1981 and until 2023, was housed in a Grade II-listed Georgian town house which was previously the premises of Benskins Brewery. Its collection includes fine art, displays about local heritage, industry and sport, with a special collection related to the history of the Cassiobury Estate.
