A little gem in the heart of Hertford. I often park up at Sainsbury's (tip: you can park there for up to 3 hours, it's paid parking but provided you spend at least a tenner in Sainsbury's you get your money back - and I always combine a trip to the supermarket with a nosey around town, or vice versa) - anyway, the Museum is on your way in to town and well worth a pop in. They are very child friendly and always have something different going on. Their courtyard is special too particularly on a hot summer day.

Well-presented (free) collection of the unexpected and of objects reflecting Hertford's history. Especially strong on artefacts representing local trades, professions and well-known people.

Nothing special as it does concentrate on the Hertford area, but what it does show is interesting. Frequent exhibitions on areas of special interest. If you live in Hertford a must see. Building is attractive also.

It's a little museum in middle of Hertford town but full of history and things I have never seen anywhere before we enjoyed walking around and see what happened in the past . All the antiques tell story!

We were in the Hertford area and decided to visit the museum to find out more about the area. This museum has a lot of information for anyone who wants to know about the Hertford area. We enjoyed the information and found it an enjoyable experience. The only thing I would say would be that there should be a few chairs out for elderly people to have a rest. Also some of the technical items weren't working (however the receptionist later told us that they had unplugged it!). I found the museum had a lot to say and was extremely educational and diverse. It was easy to find as everyone we asked knew where it was.

This is a very well organised museum of the county town and local life which is all absorbing and thoroughly entertaining as well as pleasantly educational.

This is a small to medium sized local museum that has a proud history of its own. It has adapted to modern expectations without losing sight of its purpose. The temporary exhibitions are always worth a visit and provide an object lesson in how to best use a small space. The amount of work required to put these together must be enormous. The staff are friendly and the small bookshop contains lots of interesting local publications. This is one of the places that make Hertford a little bit special.

I recently had the opportunity to go through the Hertford Museum. First of all it was easy to find due to the great vertical signage on the side of the building. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The knot garden, even though it was small, was very nicely done. I was surprised at how diverse the collection is. There is something of interest for almost everyone. Does not take long to go through and well worth the time.

We love Hertford museum and visit often. My children love the binoculars and buckets, toys etc they take around the museum. There is always a nice selection of books and activities for children in the temporary displays plus the shop on the first floor is always a must. Lovely activities for children in the holidays and we go to toddler Tuesdays too once a month - lovely to play with some good quality wooden toys and read some lovely stories!

Interesting little museum, beautifully kept and ityems well labelled.
We were just 2 adults on a rainy afternoon waiting to go somewhere else, It kept us happy for most of an hour. I am sure children would enjoy it as well.

Visited on a wet Sunday afternoon. It's free to get in, and when we visited they had a craft activity too. They have buckets to fill with magnifying glasses and torches to look around the museum with, with a list of things to look out for. The museum itself is small with lots of fairly recent stuff upstairs (to make parents feel even older), lots to interest our 3 and 5 year olds. Star attraction is the play shop with till and play - complete with aprons, shopping bags, money.... Outside is very pretty (even in the rain!) near the river, and there are plenty of cafes - we went to Langleys (cash only) which was perfect for everyone.
