WELCOME TO KENDAL MUSEUM
Kendal is situated on the edge of the English Lake District
and is home to one of the country's oldest museums.
Founded in 1796, Kendal Museum's
fascinating collections include local archaeology, history, geology
and a natural history collection from around the globe. We also
have a changing programme of temporary exhibitions and
displays , events, walks and talks
Children and families are warmly
welcomed with hands-on exhibits, worksheets, activities during school
holidays and a branch of the Young Archaeologists' Club.
We see education as a primary function
of the museum. Our aim is to enable visitors of all ages, and
especially those from schools, to gain a deeper understanding and
enjoyment from the material in our collections.
Kendal Museum is managed by Kendal
College on behalf of South Lakeland District
Council.
We hope that you enjoy using this
