North Lincolnshire Museum

The North Lincolnshire Museum is housed in a 19th-century building with modern extensions that display regional artifacts and objects across multiple exhibition galleries. The spaces are arranged so visitors can explore different time periods and subjects.

The building was constructed in 1874 as a vicarage and later converted into a museum to preserve the region's history. The collection focuses on how crafts, industry, and people's lives developed over the decades.

The museum displays crafts and objects that show how people in the region lived across generations. Visitors can see how local trades and commerce shaped the community.

The museum is easy to reach and has parking nearby. Some areas have narrow staircases, so wearing comfortable shoes is a good idea when exploring the galleries.

The museum houses a lead baptismal font dating to 1170, a rare example of medieval religious metalwork. This piece shows craftsmanship and religious practices that are over eight hundred years old.
