Ashby de la Zouch Museum, Leicestershire,
Ashby de la Zouch Museum was opened in 1982 in a small cottage in Lower Church Street. It relocated in 1991 its present home in North Street, where it shares the old National School building with the town Library and Tourist Information Centre.
The Zouche and Hastings Gallery retells the history of Ashby de la Zouch from ancient times up to the present day. It also features a number of temporary exhibitions.
In 2006-7, thanks to a major Heritage Lottery Fund Grant, a two storey extension was added. It is a Registered Charity and is run by a group of trustees supported by around 70 volunteers. In July 2007 and again in July 2010, the museum won Museum of the Year in Leicestershire. It works closely with the county Museum Service and other independent museums in the area, sharing expertise and artefacts.
