New Forest Heritage Centre
Located in the New Forest Heritage Centre, beside the main car park in Lyndhurst, the New Forest Museum contains permanent exhibits and displays illustrative of New Forest life in days-gone-by, accompanied by a range of activities provided to particularly engage younger visitors. Special seasonal and commemorative events are also staged.
An attractive Gift Shop within the Centre sells a wide range of New Forest-related items, whilst art and other exhibitions are held within the New Forest Gallery. New Forest-related and other talks take place in the lecture theatre.
(Details of the exhibitions and lectures are included in the New Forest 'What's On' section).
Upstairs, the Christopher Tower New Forest Reference Library houses what is considered to be the most comprehensive collection of books, maps, reports and ephemera on the New Forest available to the public in a single location.
