The Cumbria Museums Consortium

A group of six museums across a rural county

Cumbria Museums Consortium is made up of three organisations and six museums spread across this rural county. Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery in Carlisle houses considerable collections of fine and decorative art, human history and natural sciences. Wordsworth Grasmere cares for the home where William Wordsworth produced most of his best-loved poems, and explores how a unique combination of people and place came together and changed poetry forever. Lakeland Arts manages a wide variety of museums: Abbot Hall art gallery, Windermere Jetty Museum, arts and crafts house Blackwell, and the Lakeland Museum.
