	Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings is an open-air industrial and architectural museum located in Stoke Heath, a district of Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England.
		Opened in 1967, the museum was conceived following the dismantling of a 15th century timber-framed house in Bromsgrove to provide a location for its reconstruction.
		The museum is centered on a collection of buildings which have of necessity had to be relocated from their original sites and restored.

		The museum wishes to further implement a number of the recommendations made in the access survey by incorporating within the new Centre a variety of sensory interpretation.
		Museum staff and volunteers, having now received disability awareness and equality training, have benefited from working with disabled people and developed confidence in meeting their needs as customers.
		Their suggestions have not only made museum staff more aware of the difficulties faces by disabled people on a daily basis; they have also been instrumental in the development of new on-site visitor interpretation which is taking the museum's provision of education and learning opportunities for the public into an exciting and innovative new phase.

		The Museum now has 25 historic building exhibits, as well as a further 10 exciting activities and areas of interest, including rides on a model steam railway, a beautiful wild flower meadow and orchard, and our Sensory Garden project which we hope to have completed in 2006.
		The aims of the Museum focus on the rescue of historic buildings from destruction, and on an education programme to let visitors learn why these buildings are important, and how they were used in the past.
		The Museum's education mission is delivered through our award winning learning programme, as well as through special exhibitions and events that seek to bring the past more vividly into focus for both the Museum's membership and visiting public alike.

		The Museum was conceived after efforts to prevent the destruction of a 15th century timber-framed house in Bromsgrove had failed and the timbers were, at the last minute, rescued and stored.

		The primary aim of the museum is to rescue buildings from destruction.
