Join us to discover the museum stores: the Cotswolds from prehistory to the 1950’s, through stone, costume, pottery, rural life and social history. We have scythes and hoovers, pottery from all ages and Roman mosaics, carved column plinths and stone coffins, medieval tiles and corbels, smocks and an ambassador’s sword. After a tour of the store we’ll focus on a few fascinating things that we’ve pulled out of their boxes or off their shelves. The store is full of surprises.

Location: The Resource Centre, The Old Prison Site, Northleach, GL54 3JH.

The Resource Centre is the green building to the right of the main Old Prison car park.

“We all appreciated learning about the work at the museum stores and the whole process of how exhibits arrive, are checked, recorded and then stored. However, your work doesn’t stop there as you battle with humidity, mildew and Siberian tussock moths!” Bourton U3A
