is open from 10 am to 5 pm and admission is free. The building has a lift
to all floors. The lift entrance is at pavement level in Taylor's Lane
and The Worcestershire Soldier galleries are situated on the first floor.
The museum is located in Foregate Street above the Library.
THE WORCESTERSHIRE SOLDIER
The Worcestershire Soldier Exhibtion tells the story of the soldiers of our county Regiments. They lived and sometimes died in the defence of the country and its Empire overseas. Using archive film, memories and the unique collections of The Worcestershire Regiment and Worcestershire Yeomanry this display brings 300 years of military history to life.
Discover more about the harsh conditions, disease and discipline endured by soldiers in Victorian times. Try on uniforms and discover how heavy soldiers' equipment was to carry. Listen to soldiers' tales of battle at audio points through the gallery. Use computers to investigate the history of families linked with the regiments.
