Museum of Lakeland Life, Local museum in Kendal, England.
The Museum of Lakeland Life exhibits collections within the original Georgian stables of Abbot Hall Art Gallery, displaying historical artifacts from the Lake District region.
The museum opened its doors in 1971 when Princess Alexandra inaugurated the facility, leading to recognition as the first UK Museum of the Year in 1973.
The exhibitions present traditional farming equipment, domestic settings, and industrial tools that shaped the development of communities in the Lake District from the 18th century.
The museum remains temporarily closed for redevelopment work, with updates about reopening available through the Lakeland Arts newsletter subscription.
The building functions as the registered office for the Arthur Ransome Society, maintaining a collection dedicated to the author's literary contributions to the region.
