Charnwood Museum, Local history museum in Loughborough, England.
Located in Queen's Hall, Charnwood Museum exhibits geological specimens, archaeological artifacts, and industrial heritage items representing the Leicestershire region through permanent displays and galleries.
The museum building started as Victorian swimming baths in 1897, gifted by Alderman Joseph Griggs to celebrate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee until its transformation in 1999.
The museum maintains four main exhibition areas focusing on migration, natural environment, agriculture, and industrial development within the Charnwood and Leicestershire regions.
The museum welcomes visitors Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM with free admission and complete wheelchair accessibility throughout the building.
The original swimming pool structure remains preserved beneath the museum floor, covered by steel beams and 35 tons of concrete during its 1980 conversion.
