Lakeland Museum
Stories of life in the Lakes
Learn more about our collections
Lakeland Museum’s extraordinary collection tells the stories of Lakeland life over centuries and shows how our unique landscape has shaped lives, communities and industry.
Lakeland Museum is currently closed for a multi-phased redevelopment project, that will reimagine new ways to engage with the collection and the museum site so that it remains accessible, relevant and valued for future generations.
In October 2025, Lakeland Arts was awarded £244,000 by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, marking a major step forward as the organisation explores the feasibility of developing an inspiring cultural destination for Kendal and the wider region. Find out more about the project here:
Lakeland Museum Reimagined
Formerly the Museum of Lakeland Life and Industry, the museum is part of Lakeland Arts, the arts and heritage organisation that looks after Abbot Hall, Blackwell – the Arts & Crafts house and Windermere Jetty Museum.
Lakeland Arts remains committed to safeguarding and sharing the unique heritage of Lakeland life and creating a sustainable and dynamic future for its museum sites and collections
