Andover Museum and Museum of the Iron Age is a museum with two collections: the Andover Museum focuses on the history of the town of Andover,[1] and the Museum of the Iron Age serves as a major focus for museum and educational activities surrounding archaeological work at the nearby Danebury hill fort.[2][3] It is run by Hampshire Cultural Trust.[4][5]

History[edit]

The museum opened in 1986.[6] The museum is in a Georgian town house built in the 1750s. The museum houses items from the Bronze Age along with arts and crafts from the Iron Age.[7] The BBC referred to the museum in their "Iron Age Sites in Britain: Explore the Iron Age sites of England, Wales and Scotland."[8] The Times has described it as "the best explanation of Iron Age life available".[9]
