Wisbech & Fenland Museum is one of the first purpose-designed museums in the world. Designed by George Buckler, the Grade II* listed building opened on the 27th July 1847.
The collections were initiated by the town's Literary and Museum Societies which were formed in 1781 and 1835 respectively. Since the Museum opened, the collections have continued to grow, but the internal essence of the Museum remains virtually unchanged. So come and discover a treasure house of rare and unusual artefacts illuminating history both local and and worldwide, ancient and modern.
