About Lancaster City Museum

Lancaster City Museum is a great place to start if you're visiting the city and want to know more about it, or even if you've lived here all your life. You can tell that a lot of effort has gone into giving people an interesting trip through the ages with some great relics and artefacts and some brilliantly informative and clear explanations about what is on display. The attendants are friendly and helpful so do feel free to ask them any questions about something you see in a display. Find out about Victorian street life, old treasures that have been uncovered, Roman artefacts and medieval stone crosses.

  • Interactive Exhibitions

    Our changing exhibitions always include interactive elements designed for children (and the young at heart!)

  • Children's Trails

    We're always creating new trails to highlight different themes in the museum. Pick one up and discover a whole new way to engage with our displays.

  • Holiday Fun

    School holidays mean special events! Try your hand at crafting, get your hands on some real fossils from our collection, join a special Story Tour around the museum, or drop in for a Show and Tell session with military equipment from our regimental museum.
