Dorset Museum and Art Gallery Thomas Hardy Tour

Thomas Hardy has long been considered one of the most significant figures in the cultural heritage of Dorchester, and at Dorset Museum and Art Gallery we are fortunate to have an entire gallery dedicated to his life and works.

Join us this Heritage Open Day for a bespoke tour of the Museum to learn more about Hardy with our trained guide. The tour will bring Thomas Hardy's story to life through a selection of objects in our collection, spanning Hardy's childhood right through to his adult life and death.

On the Hardy tour, you'll uncover the hidden stories behind the objects on display and contemplate the connections between our wider collections and the social, historical and natural landscapes which inspired Hardy's Wessex. Whether you're a Hardy enthusiast, or are completely new to Hardy's works, all are welcome on this engaging tour to delve deeper into the world of Thomas Hardy.
