On Saturday 15th August Lowewood Museum is opening a brand new gallery dedicated to the artist James Ward.

While we are closed for redevelopment Epping Forest District Museum has been involved in a project to launch a Museum Explorer Passport for museums across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Essex.
The passport includes 21 museums across the three counties including our sister site Lowewood Museum as one of the Hertfordshire Museums.
The passport is a chance to get exploring and collect stamps at all the museums listed. There are also five exciting missions to complete.
So why not take this chance to visit your local museum or one you have never been to before and complete your Museum Explorer Passport.
You may be aware but Epping Forest District Museum also manages Lowewood Museum and puts on a programme of events and services at the site in Hoddesdon.
Lowewood Museum and the building in which it lives has a great history. Most of today’s building dates from the 1750s and has housed a museum since 1935
Lowewood Museum runs a fantastic programme of events and activities. Along with great exhibition and education programmes, the Museum hosts a number of special events during the year, as well as family activities, specialist study days, community events and much more.
Events in 2015
The first temporary exhibition at Lowewood Museum this year is Design Icons. Taking you on a journey from the mischievous Mary Quant to the ground- breaking Nintendo Gameboy, this exhibition explores some of the most recognisable designs of the twentieth century. The exhibition has been curated by 3D Design students from Hertford Regional College as part of Epping Forest District Museum’s Young Curators Programme.
