The Museum of Lancashire

If you haven't yet heard the news, the Museum of Lancashire has now closed for an exciting refurbishment and redevelopment project.

Once re-opened, we'd like to invite you for your first taste of the Lancashire story, which will signpost you to the diverse heritage across the county. Seven interactive galleries along with new visitor facilities such as a shop, cafe and improved access for the disabled are just some of the new amenities that will be on offer when the renovation is finished in 2011.

Keep checking our website for further updates and follow virtual progress online. Be prepared for the unveiling of a new and fascinating story in 2011 when the new-look museum be will revealed in all its splendour.
