ABOUT THE MUSEUM

Our museum takes you on a journey through the remarkable life of Bedford’s most famous son, John Bunyan. His story is larger than life and over 300 years since his death, his legacy still inspires. Find out why here.

​

The museum takes you through a variety of displays. These include recreations of key scenes from Bunyan’s life, audio, and hands-on interactives. Our collections include evocative items that belonged to, or were used by Bunyan in the 17th century.

We recommend you allow 30 to 60 minutes for your visit, and a further 10 to 20 minutes when the church is open to visitors. A small garden can be visited too.

An ideal souvenir, our Guide Book is also perfect for advance research or if you are unable to visit the museum in person. It is produced by specialist museum publisher Jarrold and is packed with pictures and detailed history.

“The museum guide book is a great read and beautifully produced. It opens out not just Bunyan’s story but also the wider struggles in society at the time. Just fascinating!”

Helen Mitchell, Arts and Heritage Consultant
