Blackburn Museum & Art Gallery

FREE ENTRY - DONATION POT BY THE DOOR. Visited Blackburn Museum on Thursday and it was a very pleasant surprise 😊 The Staff were brilliant and had lots of information on things on display. A GREAT PLACE TO TAKE THE CHILDREN. They literally have a bit of everything and the Greek coin display wall is fantastic! I enjoyed looking at the Art which they have. It's in excellent condition and very bright. The Egyptian section has some very interesting item but I think the Mummy and Mummy head should be returned to the Egyptian museum in Cairo. If your interested in 15th century books they have a good selection also a Torah Scroll from the 18th Century. A good section of the Museum deals with the industrial revolution and they house some large weaving machines. I I carn't believe it's free 😊 Make sure you visit and if your a family with kids get them down there for a wonderful day out! 10 out of 10 Blackburn Museum you deserve it and all the dedication and hard work you've put in are obvious to see! A big massive thank you! 😊💛

It's a small but lovely museum. Good eclectic collection. I enjoyed painting gallery. Ladies working there were also very nice.

Upstairs was closed but it is getting renovated so will go back again once opened fully really liked the cathedral & town with market

Such a nice way to spend a few hours on a rainy day.. amazing taxidermy! Beautiful art and interesting displays.. all FREE Very intriguing Egyptian display with its own authentic mummy !

An absolutely fantastic hour spent looking at the history of Blackburn as well as some natural history and Egyptian artefacts. All very well presented in a clean environment. The staff are friendly and very helpful with any questions. Photography is allowed with no flashes which isn't a problem as most things are well lit. Free to enter but a donation station is there on the way out. All in all, a solid 4½ out of 5 stars. ☆☆☆☆☆
