The Mobile Museum
Amersham’s Mobile Museum
In 2019 we launched our Mobile Museum, Anthony, named after the museum’s former chairman, Anthony del Tufo, who helped set up the museum.
The Mobile Museum is a mobile exhibition, housed in a retro-style vehicle, which tells the story of Amersham in the 20th century. The Mobile Museum showcases a range of mixed media work, including oral history, film, photographs, documents and objects. It also includes details of artwork created by local people through the National Lottery Heritage Fund’s supported ‘the People’s Story of Amersham’ project.
Lots of local groups helped to create the Mobile Museum including Little Chalfont’s Knit & Natter group, our Chiltern Juniors Art Club, our Young Curators group and older people in our reminiscence groups. It was launched on Easter weekend, Saturday 20th and 21st April.
The Mobile Museum will travel to fetes and festivals in the local area as well as care homes and schools. If you’re interested in the Mobile Museum attending your event, please get in touch: email [email protected]
Support for the Mobile Museum has come from the National Lottery’s Heritage Fund, the HS2 Community and Environment Fund, Amersham Local Area Forum through Amersham Decides, Chiltern District Council, Amersham Action Group and the Friends of Amersham Museum.

“Visited Amersham museum yesterday – lovely place, provides many details on the history of the place. Plenty of cute cafes, pubs and shops around also… not difficult to find free parking nearby. ”
“A well-run, informative and interesting small museum on the main street. It’s mostly volunteer-run and they do a great job in keeping it and making you feel welcome…Check out the herb garden too.”
