Make, mend and wash at Amersham Museum Exhibition

From the lace makers of the 1800s to World War II darning, see examples of how the people of Amersham created, mended and repaired their clothing and textiles. Making, mending and repairing have been necessary skills for centuries, but also an outlet for creative self-expression. Enjoy examples from our collection including beautiful tambour beading, intricate straw plaiting, delicate lace, and expert smocking.

All of the museum’s in-house exhibitions are FREE to visit after admission to the museum. General admission is £5.00 for adults, children free.

We are open from Wednesday to Sunday, 12 noon until 4:30pm.
