Encounter beetles, badgers, Japanese art and an Egyptian mummy on a back street in Blackburn. From cotton looms and coins, to football clubs and religious icons - experience over 2000 years of history with us. Learn about the town’s communities, international connections and the role it played during the Industrial Revolution.
At Blackburn Museum and Art Gallery there are things to make, dress-up costume and activities to enjoy for visitors of all ages. Escape to other worlds in the Victorian gallery, attend a theatre show, draw your own portrait and experience a real night at the museum.
Create your own design on an original printing press, join in with the National Festival of Making, enjoy changing exhibitions and join our programme of events throughout the year.
Whether looking for inspiration, half-term fun or simply an escape from everyday life, either with friends, family or alone - it is the perfect place to visit. There is always something new to discover at this hidden jewel - just steps away from the bustle of shopping in the town centre.
