Welcome to North Lincolnshire Museum Service.
A great day out for all the family. Discover the stories of North Lincolnshire through many interactive exhibits - become a nature detective in 'Go Wild', step back in time in the Victorian ironstone cottage and relive the 'People's War'. Climb the stairs to delight in the treasures of our archaeology gallery and the award winning temporary exhibitions.
The museum displays draw on all of these collections, reflecting not only the great changes in the region but also the everyday lives of ordinary people. There is also an exciting courtyard garden to explore and a changing programme of temporary exhibitions.
29 June until 19 September
School's out, gallery exhibition
There was no feeling like it, on holiday for six whole weeks. But why do we have such long summer holidays? Were they for work or play?
Within this exhibition we take a look at your summer holidays past and present, from the first excursions to the independent traveler. Hands on activities and family fun.
Visitors to North Lincolnshire Museum will get the chance to step back in time and explore newspaper history in a new exhibition.
Newspaper Times
To celebrate the contribution the paper made to the lives of local people, North Lincolnshire Museum will display a range of photographs that appeared in the Lincolnshire Times.
The photos will depict villages in rural North Lincolnshire and also many photos of Scunthorpe town centre buildings and parks.
The exhibition will go on display at North Lincolnshire Museum from 6 July 2010 until 16 September 2010.
New book launch
In September, North Lincolnshire Museum is launching a joint publication entitled ‘Britain in old photographs. Scunthorpe and District’ as part of its Britain in old photographs series.
It consists of 220 archive photographs drawn from the collections of North Lincolnshire Council’s Museum and Library Services.
As well as Scunthorpe, life in some of the surrounding villages is also featured, including Burton-upon-Stather, Burringham, Gunness, Keadby Messingham, Normanby and Winterton.
The book is an insight into the relatively recent but eventful history of Scunthorpe and district, showing how it evolved into a town from five small villages, and should appeal to anyone interested in the history of the town and the surrounding area. It costs £12.95.
All the images in the book are part of North Lincolnshire Council’s digitised image archive of historic photographs of North Lincolnshire.
To celebrate this launch North Lincolnshire Museum will be holding a book launch event on September 7 from 2pm to 4pm.
Come along to purchase a copy and to find out more about the book. Plus you will also be able to look at other museum service image archive photographs within our collection.
