Description:

North Lincolnshire Museum is 100 years old, having been opened on August 31st 1909. Founded around collections that were principally geological and archaeological, the service now cares for and interprets the full range of the region's heritage, including its natural, archaeological, social, historical, technological and built heritage.

 

The service delivers a regularly changing programme of temporary exhibitions to complement the galleries. We offer an enquiries and identification service, and are home to the Portable Antiquities service and the Sites and Monuments Record for the region. We put on a wide range of events and activities and operate a busy education service. Details of all these activities can be found on the council's website at the link above.
