Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery
Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery, Museum and art gallery in Carlisle, England.
Tullie House Museum occupies a 17th-century building with modern additions and displays natural history specimens, Roman objects, and Pre-Raphaelite artworks. The rooms showcase taxidermied animals, rock collections, and historical items from the Anglo-Scottish border region.
The institution was established in 1893 as a combined facility combining museum, library, art school, and technical school within a converted mansion. The organization transitioned to independent charitable status in 2011.
The Border Reivers gallery displays weapons, clothing, and household items that show how people lived along the Anglo-Scottish border. These objects reveal the daily struggles and traditions of communities caught between two nations for centuries.
The building features well-marked galleries spread across multiple levels with accessible pathways for visitors. Clear signage guides you through different sections, making it easy to explore at your own pace without getting lost.
The collections include original specimens gathered by botanist Clara Winsome Muirhead from the local region. Visitors encounter pressed plants and botanical drawings displayed alongside geological and animal specimens that document the area's natural heritage.
