Watford Museum, Local museum in Watford, United Kingdom.

The museum occupies a three-story red-brick Georgian house with a pediment, a central bull's eye window, and two lower wings from 1807.

The Grade II listed building, constructed around 1775 for the Dyson family, served as Benskins Brewery headquarters until 1957 before becoming a museum in 1981.

The museum displays fine art from the Cassiobury Collection, including works by Turner, Wootton, and Reynolds, alongside Dutch and Flemish school paintings.

The institution maintains archives of documents, photographs, and diaries that detail the development of Watford through records of local government and businesses.

A dedicated gallery presents Watford Football Club memorabilia, featuring a stage costume worn by performer Elton John during his tenure as club chairman.
