Stockwood Discovery Centre
About This Museum
People come to the Stockwood Discovery Centre for a wonderfully varied day out that feels miles away from a stuffy museum. You can easily lose an afternoon wandering through the beautiful, free-entry gardens, which are dotted with intriguing modern sculptures. Inside, the world-class Mossman Collection of horse-drawn carriages is a real showstopper, while other galleries weave together the rich and surprising stories of Luton and its people. It’s the kind of place that charms you with its quiet mix of history, art, and lovely green space.
Collection Highlights
The stunning Mossman Collection of historic horse-drawn carriages takes centre stage, but don't miss the eclectic local history displays that tell the story of Luton's hat-making and other industries.
Visitor Information
Best of all, general admission is completely free, making it an easy and affordable choice for a spontaneous visit. There's a great café on-site for a coffee or lunch, and the gardens are perfect for a sunny day.
Architecture & Building
The main building is a clean, modern structure with lots of glass, sitting comfortably within the extensive and beautifully landscaped grounds.
