Explorations and Experiments: Early Scientific Discoveries in the Lakes
From 8th July
This exhibition asks what made the Lakes such a hotbed of scientific discovery in the 18th and 19th centuries. Telling the story of early scientific explorers such as John Dalton, Jonathan Otley, Benjamin Franklin, and Beatrix Potter, Explorations and Experiments will show how the landscape of Cumbria inspired them to experiment – and asks how it might inspire you.
With loans from the Whipple Museum of the History of Science and the Armitt Museum, alongside objects from Keswick Museum’s own collections.
1950s Keswick
A new exhibition at Keswick Museum which brings together photos and memories of Keswick and the surrounding area during the 1950s.
The images and objects featured in the exhibition were kindly submitted by members of the local community — including individuals who grew up in the area during the 50s, those who have inherited family collections, found albums at car boot sales or even boxes of slides bought at auctions. Together, the images build up a fascinating picture of 1950s Keswick — the local trades, characters, fashion, events, activities and lifestyle.
The exhibition runs from 29th March until 1st May 2024
