Small museum on the way to the old railway station. Only 2 smallish rooms but with some interesting exhibits, especially the very large (rock) xylophone. Perhaps could do with a few more local exhibits. The volunteer on tHe cash desk was very knowledgeable and interesting.

Visited to avoid torrential rain. The museum was very interesting in part, especially around the mining and geological history of Keswick. It was very small though. There is a huge amount that could be covered on the history of the area but there just isn't enough space here to do it justice

We only had an hour and this was an hour well spent. The collection is somewhat disjointed but the museum is charming for its randomness. Our particular highlight was the stone musical instrument (lithophone) but we all enjoyed how hands on the whole museum and gallery is. We also appreciated that our ticket is annual admission, which would be useful if we lived closer.
