The Museum of Lancashire
The Museum of Lancashire is a real treat, and previous exhibitions have included the superb 'Grin Up North' exhibition which truly was a journey back into the history of Northern comedy, rooted in music hall. Also at the Museum of Lancashire attention is paid to Lancashire Regiments fighting in the First World War, the futility of war and the great losses. The museum is located in the old courthouse and dates from 1825. It also nods to Celtic, Viking, monastic and Victorian history with changing exhibitions. It's cheap to get in, plus free for accompanied children and it's well worth a look and open 10.30am-5.00pm. Mon-Sat.
