VE Day Commemoration

Posted on in

Due to the current crisis we are not able to celebrate 75 years since VE Day in the way we had planned. However, some of our amazing volunteers have made bunting to celebrate, which people can see in the museum’s front window and reception as they walk past. Maybe you could make some and display it on your own front windows? VE Day was 8th May 1945. Click on this link to find out how Amersham celebrated Victory in Europe day, May 8th, 1945 and read the biographies of people who had moved to Amersham because of the war.

A wall decorated with vintage signs, nautical bunting for VE Day Commemoration, a round clock, a model figure in a glass case, bottles, and a green pinball machine under a glass ceiling with sunlight streaming in.

“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.”
