Description
The museum of Lincolnshire Life is the largest and most diverse community museum in the county. Just five minutes walk from Lincoln Castle, the museum reflects the culture of the people of Lincolnshire.
Be inspired to discover more about the rich heritage of Lincolnshire and gain an insight into local culture today. Displays include life in Victorian Times, agriculture and industry and transport, for example our wonderful collection of steam and oil engines. The museum is also home to the Royal Lincolnshire Regimental Galleries. A regular programme of new exhibitions are on display throughout the year. We also have a very busy events programme too.
