Wardown Park Museum, Independent museum in Wardown Park, Luton, England
The Victorian mansion contains galleries dedicated to local history, with rooms displaying period furniture and decorative elements from the 1800s.
The building served as a military hospital during World War I before transforming into a museum in 1930 under Luton Council management.
The museum collection includes 700 hats and headwear pieces, reflecting the industrial heritage of Luton as a center of hat manufacturing.
The museum provides full accessibility with ground floor lifts, designated parking spaces, and a café serving refreshments throughout the day.
The Wenlock Jug, a rare 15th-century English bronze vessel valued at £750,000, remains one of the museum's most significant artifacts.
