The Museum provides a snapshot of what makes this area - located in a World Heritage Site - so special. Highlights include an opportunity to play the Musical Stones of Skiddaw and to see examples of decorative metalwork from Keswick School of Industrial Arts.
It’s a great day out for families as the ticket includes trails and activities to help you enjoy our amazing eclectic collection.
