The Museum in the Park is set in Stratford Park in the centre of Stroud, Gloucestershire.
The Museum is housed on two floors in a Grade II 17th century wool merchant's mansion. Objects and colourful displays along with exciting events combine to celebrate the rich history and heritage of the Stroud District. The modern extension houses temporary exhibitions and visitor facilities.
Entrance is free but donations are encouraged.
We welcome families and children with something to offer visitors of all ages. Whether you are visiting the District or have lived here for many years, you are sure to find something that interests, inspires or amazes you.
We also offer a small gift shop and café within the museum foyer.
