The Herefordshire Museum Resource Centre, known as the History Store, holds an amalgam of art, archaeology, costumes, social history and natural science collections. You can explore them through behind the scenes tours, education sessions or independent study, and some items can be searched online beforehand. The building was adapted in 2004 with Heritage Lottery Funding to provide state-of-the-art, climate-controlled storage, one of the first such facilities in the UK. Visits, group tours, research visits and school sessions need to be arranged by contacting the centre directly. It suits those with a particular interest in behind-the-scenes museum work. Based in Hereford, it's close to Hereford station, 0.8 miles away, with 19 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
