Tullie House Museum And Art Gallery

Story

Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery, Carlisle, is one of the North West's premier attractions and houses collections of fine and decorative art, human history and natural sciences.

A changing programme of temporary exhibitions compliment the permanent displays; contemporary arts are featured in the purpose-built Art Gallery, and exhibitions inspired by our own collections or the local community appear in the Special Exhibitions Gallery upstairs.

In the main displays we will take you on a journey through the ages, from the present day back to the Romans and before. You will also encounter Wildlife of the Eden valley (set under a changing audio-visual ceiling display) and local history over the past century in the new Carlisle Life gallery.

Set in attractive and well-planted gardens, Old Tullie House (1689) still retains its beautiful Jacobean facade. Inside there is an impressive Jacobean staircase and fireplace. The two galleries display Tullie House's nationally important collection of Pre-Raphaelite art.

The award-winning family-friendly restaurant serves a variety of snacks and meals, while the Tullie House gift shop is the perfect place to find unique gifts and souvenirs, featuring locally crafted goods.

Great day out for grandma, mother and grand daughter . Things on for kids to do free. Lots to look at and read for all ages. The restaurant was very good. Had soup and fancy bread. Lots of nice cakes to choose from. Will go back and see things I’ve missed. Great for visitors and local people.

A lovely museum located directly across from Carlisle Castle. It's main focus is Roman artifacts, of which they have many. There are also a lot of interactive displays as well as video/slide presentations for both kids and adults throughout the museum. There is also a small section briefly covering a more modern history of Carlisle. There is a parade about 2 blocks away charging about a £ an hour. All in all, a nice little museum that will eat up a couple of hours.

Very interesting place...lots to see. Large caffe'. Good selection. Entrance from island very dark and dirty...steps. Surprised that is so dirty...was opened by the Queen with posh lift. Now abandoned? ??? Shame......

This is a great well-maintained museum with all sorts of interesting exhibits. We looked at the large whale skeleton and at the local history stories. We also used the cafe which is a pleasant and airy room in the old part of the building. Outside there are pleasant gardens.

I enjoyed the experience . Great baby whale skeleton hanging up, The shoe exhibition was fun. Love seeing some great preraphaelite Paintings and always back to the Romans and the wall experience.
