Keswick Museum is set across three galleries, including a main room of geology, archaeology and Lakeland curiosities; our special exhibitions room, currently housing Outside In, an immersive landscape experience; and the Community Gallery, a dedicated exhibition space for local groups, organisations, and individuals to showcase their work, stories, and heritage.

All tickets are valid for 12 months, allowing you to come back and enjoy our changing exhibitions throughout the year.
