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.
