About
Bishop's Stortford Museum is a museum in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, England. It opened in 1938 as the "Rhodes' Birthplace Museum". It is housed in Netteswell House, the birthplace of British imperialist Cecil Rhodes, the financier and founder of diamond company De Beers who gave his name to Rhodesia.
The museum is governed by a trust which is also responsible for the adjacent arts centre, South Mill Arts. Previously the Rhodes Birthplace Trust, it has been renamed following controversy regarding the legacy of Rhodes and it no longer bears his name.
