About Us
Nestled in a row of historic timber-framed buildings, the museum was established in 1980 in memory of the writer and naturalist John Moore.
Today it is also home to an extensive Natural History collection featuring specimens of the mammals and birds native to our countryside, woodlands and wetlands.
A few doors away is The Merchant's House,a two storey building which has been beautifully restored and furnished to show the construction of a 15th century shop and dwelling.
Opening Times
We are open!
The current floods around Tewkesbury have not impacted on our Museum. The monks responsible for building the row of cottages in which we are based certainly knew a thing or two about flood plains as we are built on higher ground. If you are planning on visiting, please do check the flood levels before you leave. And don't forget to bring your camera!
Current Opening Times
Tuesday - Saturday (3 April to end Oct) including Bank Holidays
10am - 1pm and 2pm - 5pm
Very occasionally we close for large groups as the Museum is extremely limited with space; we aim to keep such days to a maximum of once a week to prevent inconvenience to our visitors. The list below is regularly up-dated but we advise contacting the museum should you plan to visit on a specific date. The dates we will be closed for in the future are listed below:
Tuesday 22 May 2012
