Originally a brewery built in the 1800's, it is a lovely three storey building of rose-pink brick with white weatherboarding and houses a wonderful collection originating from the amalgamation of the Bedford Modern School Museum and the Bedford Town Council. The exhibitions are constantly changed and the reconstructed rooms of a farming community are well worth a visit.
