About Wisbech and Fenland Museum
Wisbech & Fenland Museum is housed in one of the first purpose-designed museums in the world and opened its doors in 1847.
The Museum is an important educational and research resource for people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. It exists to inspire people, to stimulate ideas, and to satisfy a passion for knowledge. As a key destination in Wisbech and surrounding Fenland’s tourism offer, the Museum illuminates and celebrates Wisbech’s proud past and distinctive present, and helps people connect to their cultural inheritance and generate a sense of identity and belonging.
Alongside the permanent galleries, the Museum programmes a diverse range of temporary exhibitions, many of which are co-produced with local communities and groups. This is complemented by a programme of associated events and activities that attract a diverse range of audiences.
