About the Museum
The Museum of Harrow Life shows many items from the past and present of Harrow School. These include a modern boy's room and one from about 1890, the time of Churchill. There is a games section, including a Harrow Football with its peculiar flattened shape and a photo of the Harrow XI that contained two future England cricket captains.
There are pictures of Old Harrovians who achieved distinction as statesmen, writers, artists, scientists and others. Other sections show Harrow in wartime, the many activities that take place in Speech Room and a collection of beautifully made scientific apparatus that was once in regular use for the teaching of Physics.
