Haslemere Educational Museum was founded in 1888 by the eminent surgeon Sir Jonathan Hutchinson to display his growing collection of natural history specimens. After two moves it found in 1926 a permanent home in Haslemere High Street, in the town of Haslemere, Surrey, England.

The museum won a national award in 2012[1] and is an independent charity. It contains nearly half a million specimens, artefacts, papers and images.
