The Collection, Local authority museum in Lincoln, England
The Collection is a local authority museum in Lincoln combining two formerly separate institutions into one building complex. It displays archaeological finds spanning from the Ice Age through the Medieval period together with contemporary art exhibitions and historical artifacts.
This museum originated from the Usher Gallery established in 1927. A new building was added in 2005 to integrate the collections of the City and County Museum, creating the combined institution.
The museum shows rotating exhibitions featuring regional and international artists alongside permanent displays of archaeological discoveries from the Lincolnshire area. These presentations reflect what people in this region have created and valued across different periods.
The museum offers full wheelchair access throughout both buildings, making it easy to move between galleries and exhibition spaces. Staff members regularly lead guided tours in multiple languages during opening hours.
The Witham Shield and the Fiskerton log boat are exceptional archaeological finds from the local area displayed in specialized preservation cases. These objects reveal details about ancient craftspeople and how people lived in earlier times.
