The local museum packed with exciting exhibits for Wigan, Leigh and neighbouring towns and villages.
The Museum is a Grade II listed building designed by Alfred Waterhouse that opened in 1878 as the town’s first public library. A Heritage Lottery Fund award of £1.9M refurbished the Museum which re-opened in April 2010. The permanent exhibition ‘Our Borough’ explores local heritage including food, sport, customs, the World Wars and the Home Front and the achievements of local people. In the Taylor Gallery on the first floor is the local studies area, holding original documents and maps and reference books, open to all visitors.
