Friends of Bushey Museum

The Friends of Bushey Museum is one of the largest such organisations in the UK. It exists to support Bushey Museum Trust by raising funds for new acquisitions and also providing a focus for all those interested in the Museum. The Friends have a varied programme of meetings, events and outings covering a wide range of cultural interests. Their garden party in August has become one of Bushey's premier annual events. Newsletters and a glossy illustrated journal are free to members. See membership leaflet, available in the museum shop.

The Herkomer Room describes the life and work of the great Victorian artist and innovator Sir Hubert von Herkomer RA and his School of Art in Bushey.
