Very informative and fun museum. There are interactive elements and then a full interactive experience. There was also an exhibit on Curlew’s which I hadn’t even heard of before. Staff were friendly and overall I had a great time.
Nice exhibits but it’s a pretty limited space. Only two galleries means the history of Keswick and the region is condensed massively. Free entry with my Museums Association card, so no harm done. But I probably wouldn’t pay for entry. Nice staff though!
A brilliant little museum packed with character and surprises! Keswick Museum offers a fascinating look into local history, with everything from Victorian curiosities to hands-on exhibits. The musical stones were a real highlight – who knew rocks could make music? 🎶🪨 The whole place is thoughtfully curated, with a friendly atmosphere and plenty to explore despite its modest size. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and love places that are a bit quirky, educational, and full of charm. #LocalHistory #KeswickMuseum #LakeDistrict #QuirkyMuseums #MustVisit
Small but interesting museum and art gallery with a few activities for kids to do, great also as paying once let's you visit again for a year. Nice dog friendly cafe with lovely staff which leads outside also toilets and a lift between the two floors
A small museum but very well presented and good value. Our kids really enjoyed it as there are activities dotted around. We really enjoyed the rock xylophone which you can play with. Lots of local history to take in. Situated next to a beautiful park and cafe nearby.
