There has been a Ruskin Museum in Coniston since 1901, when W.G.
Collingwood, a local artist and antiquarian who had been Ruskin's secretary,
set it up both as a memorial to Ruskin and a celebration of the area's
heritage. Therefore, although the museum has a Ruskin collection, there are
also exhibits relating to the coppermines, slate, geology, lace, farming and
Donald Campbell. |
Inspiring as well as educational, the museum has additional folders of
information to complement the collection.
THERE REALLY IS
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE !!
