Museum devoted to the region's industrial history, with a period-furnished farmer's Victorian home.
Good museum. Very well thought out and is worth a visit. Takes about an hour to walk round. Good value and the staff are enthusiastic and helpful
Surprisingly cool little museum! Neat displays and collections of objects, 'twas fun to get a sense of Lakeland life in bygone days.
A very worthwhile and interesting experience and a fascinating insight into how things were in and around the Lake District in days gone by.
Lovely little museum tucked away in Kendal. Well worth a visit especially the recreation of an old pharmacy.
We visited the Museum on the recommendation of The Tourist Information Centre and boy was that a good recommendation. Despite being small and affordable this was among the best in Britain (and we've visited all the London ones). The museum is a series of rooms which you can walk through and examine (without touching of course) the exhibits. Sound recordings add to the atmosphere and textual information boards give loads of interesting detail of life in The Lakes. It was great and we really enjoyed it. Lovely gift shop too and a little restaurant which was sadly very understaffed the day we visited but the chef did a sterling job of meeting customers needs. Well done him.
Worth a visit when you have an hour or two to spare. Easily worth PS5. Some interesting features. Very nice cafe by the art gallery. Homemade pork pie was a blast from the past. Local parking was a typical rip off, almost as much as the entrance fee. Same all over the lakes and a real off-putting cost.
