The Elgar Birthplace Museum in Lower Broadheath, Worcestershire, England, is a museum dedicated to the English composer Edward Elgar. Elgar was born here on 2 June 1857, and lived here until his family moved to Worcester two years later.〔 (information from opening paragraph, freely available online; remainder of article available to subscribers or in print)〕 The museum comprises the birthplace cottage and an associated Elgar Centre, opened in 2000, which houses exhibitions and a function room. The collections include manuscripts, scores, programmes and other items connected with Elgar's music; family photographs and scrapbooks; items connected with his travels and with his hobbies including golf and cycling; personal possessions, awards and honours, and film of his later years. The cottage was established as a museum in 1934, on Elgar's death, by his daughter Carice Elgar Blake. The Museum receives no regular funding and is reliant on income from admissions and retail income. It therefore greatly values the support it receives from generous donors and its friends including the Elgar Society. It has Accredited Museum status from the Arts Council England.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Accreditation statistics ) "List of Accredited Museums" is in Excel spreadsheet linked from this page''〕 ==Opening Hours, Events and Facilities== The Elgar Birthplace Museum is open daily with a winter closure period. It offers a programme of events, musical concerts, educational talks, craft activities, art exhibitions and family events spread throughout the year. For families, the museum currently offers a selection of children's trails and activity days and has a "Jubilee Music Garden" with outdoor musical instruments, which was installed in 2012. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elgar Birthplace Museum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
