Highlights to look out for include a real-life chemist shop from Worcester (you can see its original lamp which featured on the BBC's The Repair Shop too!), fossils and natural history, the fascinating local glove-making industry - and, of course, the Worcestershire Sauce archive. The collections cover areas such as geology, social history, archaeology, natural history, art and a military exhibition from the Worcestershire Yeomanry Cavalry and the Worcestershire Regiment. Kids will love the Activity Space, which is a bright and welcoming space in the heart of the museum, where various materials are supplied so you can create your own masterpiece, or just sit and watch the kids have fun. There are so many different objects to see relating to the history of Worcester, and the people who have lived in it.
