Description
Andover Museum opened in April 1981. It is part of Hampshire Museum and Archives Service and is jointly funded by Test Valley Borough Council.
The Museum building was built in the mid 18th century as a private house and later became the town Grammar School.
The museum itself tells the story of Andover and the surrounding area. It has Natural History and Archaeology displays as well as Social History.
