Get up close and personal with the objects in our collection.

The Lancaster City Museums’ collection is wonderfully diverse and incredibly interesting. From velocipedes to votes for women, fishing nets to human fingernails. We have so many objects in our collection and art stores that we are not able to put everything on display or online. In fact, only around 8% of our objects can be shown at any one time.

We've selected some of our favourites to share with you here, and we'll add new articles to this page from time to time. Follow the links below to discover the stories behind each object.
