I visited the museum to see the temporary exhibition “Samurai: Warriors of Ancient Japan”. The temporary exhibition had some quality items of historical samurai armour and weapons, from a private collection, together with a few modern blades made using the traditional techniques. Worth a visit.
Also downstairs was an exhibition of Victoriana, and an area devoted to historic local crafts and industries, and local archaeological finds. There are some things in pull-out drawers.
Upstairs, a prime exhibit is part of the Museum buildings, the “Tudor House” whose structure dates from the Tudor period. Parts of the original wall, roof and floor structures are exposed to view.
The museum is in the old centre of Aylesbury. To visit it by car, first find somewhere you can park for about 2 hours, and then head into the old part of the town centre, looking for signs to the Museum (or the Church, which is nearby). The museum fronts onto Church St, but there is also access from the street behind.
