The Higgins Bedford

The Higgins Bedford showcases wonderful and varied collections including fine and decorative arts, world-class watercolour and prints and unique groups of work by the designers William Burges and Edward Bawden. The watercolour collection includes works by Turner, Constable, Cotman and Blake, whilst the print collection includes works by Picasso, Goya, Munch and Bonnard alongside many others.

The Higgins Bedford explores the inspiring stories of local people and encourages a ‘sense of place’ for Bedford and the surrounding area. Using collections of archaeology, social history and ethnography, the museum shows how the town of Bedford has developed.

The Higgins Bedford is a Bedford Borough Council cultural service.
