We’ve launched a new display in the museum’s garden, that explores how some of the plants we grow not only have historical uses, but have also inspired current medicines. Created with our Young Curators group, additional information about selected plants from foxglove to goat’s rue show that plants underpin a whole range of medical treatments including those for heart disease, leukaemia, epilepsy and malaria. Find out more about this display here.

“Enjoyed our visit to this wonderful interactive museum where you are positively encouraged to touch things!”
“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.”
“Enjoyable film and television location guided walk around Amersham hosted by Amersham Museum – here are the Sun Houses on Highover Park and further up the hill is High & Over.”
