Let’s visit! WYCOMBE MUSEUM - official video guide
CATEGORY. ☞ local museum. IN ONE SENTENCE. ☞ Introducing Wycombe as used to be the world's “chair making capital” (as ambitiously claimed in the leaflets). WYCOMBE MUSEUM 1/F. ☞ A small art gallery. Factory and workers’ life. History of the town's chair-making factories. You’ll also find photos of magnificent “chair arches”: an bowed gate made of chairs to welcome Queen Victoria and other VIPs. The rest is an entire corridor dedicated to local artifacts, in chronological order, starting from a lithic axe. The labels are in the process of being replaced, and you’ll see how the rest consists of curious descriptions on blue-tagged office paper. Here’s an example: an object labelled as “Other World War 2 items (will be replaced soon with World War 1 items)”. Clip: 1/F, WYCOMBE MUSEUM G/F. ☞ Recreated war trench, kept from a WWI exhibition (clip). Information on the very building (Castle Hill House) to be found on the walls at random places. Offeri
