Luton
Museum & Art Gallery
The
Luton museum is housed in a large Victorian mansion set in the
40 acre Wardown Park on the outskirts of the Luton town centre.
The museum collection focusses on the traditional crafts of Bedfordshire,
notably lace-making and hat-making. There are samples of local
lace from as early as the 17th century.
The
Women's Hat Industry collection features over 600 hats in an extensive
collection (hats are in storage and can be viewed by appointment
only) and there are extensive displays of decorative arts, including
Saxon jewelry.
There
are also exhibits of costumes, straw-plaiting, fine arts, and several
Victorian room settings, as well as medieval guild books.
