Warwickshire Museum
Things To Do
The Warwickshire Museum isn't just a stuffy little place for people to immerse themselves in the quintissential history of Warwickshire. It has lots going for it.
Part of the Warwickshire Museum is the Warwicksire Museum Field Service which runs a fantastic ecology unit.
The ecology unit provides information and advice about wildlife habitats, flora and fauna in the county. The Ecology Unit provides an information service to individuals and organisations, including public utilities, consultants and local interest groups. Advice on nature conservation issues is also provided including the formal advice given to some county council and district council departments. They work in partnership with many of these organisations to help safeguard the county's natural heritage. Part of the service is free to students and the public and on a charged basis for Local Authorities and commercial organisations.
Whether it's archeology, nature and heritage or something just as exciting as natural or social history, the Warwickshire Museum is definitely the right place to visit.
Located at St John's in Warwick (St John's House Museum) or the Market Place in Warwick (Market Hall Museum), you are guaranteed a superb collection of social and natural history.
The Field Services are located at The Butt's in Warwick and more details on their superb range of guided historical tours are available from the Museum.
Part of the work by Warwickshire Museum Field Service is the maintenance of a comprehensive directory of Sites and Monuments.
This can be found on their website and details of archeological training sessions are also available plus a superb Time Trail detailing the archeological history of Warwickshire.
