🐝 Happy World Bee Day! 🌼 At the museum, we’re buzzing with appreciation for these incredible insects. We've been out in our beautiful little garden to see who we can find - pictured is an early bumblebee and a tree bumblebee. Next time you're in your garden or local park, see who you can spot!

Happy #InternationalMuseumDay! 🏛️✨ To celebrate, here are a few fun facts about Kendal Museum. Thank you to everyone who visits, supports, and shares in our mission to preserve, educate and inspire!

Huge thanks to artist Lela Harris for her inspiring talk on 18th-century Black lives in Northern England. You can see some of her artwork at Abbot Hall Art Gallery and the Judges’ Lodgings Museum, where visitors can discover the fascinating and often overlooked histories of Black Lancastrians.
