The Elgar Birthplace Museum's objective is "to celebrate the life and achievements of Edward Elgar, and to inspire all visitors with his love of music." Education underlies everything we do, and we want our formal and informal educational provision to serve all ages from schoolchildren to the University of the Third Age generation.
