Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery

About

Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery is Carlisle's finest visitor attraction, and houses considerable collections of fine and decorative art, human history and natural sciences.

Set in attractive and well-planted gardens, Old Tullie House still retains its beautiful Jacobean facade. Inside there is an impressive Jacobean staircase and fireplace. The wood-panelled first floor room shows Pre-Raphaelite art and Arts & Crafts items. The Exhibition Gallery is one of the biggest and most attractive contemporary galleries in the region- perfect for their the wide range of exhibitions and events. Children and adults of all ages will find fun, hands-on exhibits and even games: fire a Roman weapon, climb our life-sized section of Hadrian’s Wall or visit the badgers’ sett!

In the main displays we will take you on a journey through the ages, from the present day back to the Romans and before. You will also encounter Wildlife of the Eden valley (set under a changing audio-visual ceiling display) and local history over the past century in the new Carlisle Life gallery.

Tullie House has been recognised with awards for its family-friendly restaurant, friendly staff and its events and exhibitions programmes.
