Relive the past inside the museum of St Albans and Property in St Albams

The museum of St Albans was founded in 1898 and reflects the city’s history right from the departure of the Romans up to the present day. The museum depicts Britain’s first Christian martyr. The museum shows how the city grew from a small city to what it is today. Initially it was a small market town near London but now it is a busy city full of people. There are beautiful objects on display from every era and this shows how the city has progressed over the years. The museum also conducts temporary exhibitions through the year and is open on all days through the year. In fact through these exhibitions we can buy some items from the museum. Of all the things that are displayed in this museum there are ten very exclusive items that are absolutely special.



The monastery of St Albans was an important pilgrim memorial. It has the protected bones of the first British martyr. Pilgrims who come to visit this place either buy badges or collect holy water in small bottles. The next elite item is the 14th century metal badge which depicts the death of Saint Albans with his head hanging from a tree, sword and the assassin with his eyes falling out. Tourists buy replica of these badges from here. Another item is the straw hat. St. Albans was once an important place for hat making and straw plaiting. This straw hat belongs to that industry. This straw hat dates back to 1900 and with the decline in usage of hats the hat industry ultimately closed. All these items are priceless and all these things make this museum a favorite amongst travelers.
