Embark on a fascinating journey through the human and natural history of  North Bedfordshire, pausing briefly to glimpse at wonders from more distant  lands.

Go back in time to visit the delightful rural room sets and the  Old School Museum, where Blackbeard's sword, 'Old Billy' the record breaking  longest-lived horse and numerous other treasures and curiosities can be  found.

Housed in the former Higgins and Sons Brewery, Bedford Museum is  situated within the gardens of bygone Bedford Castle, beside the Great Ouse  embankment. The charming courtyard and well laid out galleries provide an  excellent setting for the rich and varied nature of the collections.
