TELLING THE BUSHEY STORY
The Museum's collections and displays tell the story of Bushey with an emphasis on the unique artistic history of the village. They include works by members of the Monro Circle which flourished in the early 19th century. The Museum has a large collection (considered to be of national significance) of works, artefacts and ephemera relating to Sir Hubert von Herkomer RA and his famous School of Art in Bushey which, a century ago, was attracting students from all over the world. Also well represented are Lucy Kemp-Welch and other artists who, up to the present day, have been drawn to Bushey by its reputation.Bushey's social history is illustrated through historical maps, displays of archaeology from earliest times to the present day, examples of the wide range of products made in Bushey and displays on life in the village, both in time of peace and war.
Bushey Museum and Art Gallery is fully registered with the Museums and Galleries Commission (RD 1048) and is a registered charity (294261)
