Worcestershire County Museum is a local museum located within Hartlebury Castle in Hartlebury, Worcestershire, England, near the City of Worcester. The Museum is one of three sites run by Museums Worcestershire, a Museums Service run in partnership between Worcester City Council and Worcestershire County Council.[1]
The County Museum's displays and objects originally came from the personal collection of the Parker family who lived at Tickenhill Manor, Bewdley.[2] Their intention was to represent folk customs and trades of Worcestershire, and they donated almost 30 tonnes of historic materials.[3] In 1964, the north wing of Hartlebury Castle was re-purposed for the County Museum and it opened to the public there in 1966.
The collections include archaeological items, costumes, domestic objects, and toys.[4] There are also a Victorian schoolroom and a Transport Gallery. Other facilities include a nature reserve, cafe, and gift shop.[5]
