MARKET HALL MUSEUM (Warwick) – official video review
Also known as "Warwickshire Museum".
This is the museum to go to if you want to know the county's history and culture.
WHAT TO SEE.
1.
An ambitious narrative from Jurassic dino’s to a series of animal specimens not necessarily related to Warwick. Some donated from friends afar.
(Regional museums like to stretch back history way too much. Which means mammoths, lithic tools,or even geological periods:
☞ Redbridge Museum
☞ Slough Museum
☞ Kingston Museum
☞ Spelthorne Museum)
2.
The most impressive artefact here - the Sheldon Tapestry (photo). A map commissioned in 1580, you'll be seeing a marvellous level of details on Warwickshire's landscape. Not to be missed.
LOCATION.
The Market Hall Museum is a mere three-minute walk from Warwick Bus Station.
Get off the bus and walk north along Market Street. The museum is just right the corner. You would need some time to find the entrance – turn right into Market Place and the entrance is on the museum’s east side.
(Alternatively, if you walk from the train station it will take a whopping twenty minutes. The good thing about this choice though is that you get to walk past St. John’s House, Warwick Castle AND St Mary’s Church – the other three main attractions in town.)
FB chat - let's talk about your travel.
Time is asset: save it for better with a 25-min museum tour. Or find yourself in my novel, check out the photo of the day and finish it off with a secret prize.
Date of visit: 2019
