Details

The Ruskin Museum, which is in Coniston, was set up both as a memorial to Ruskin and a celebration of the area's heritage in 1901 by W G Collingwood, who was a local artist and antiquarian as well as being Ruskin's secretary. Therefore, even though the museum has a Ruskin collection, there are various other exhibits relating to the slate, geology, coppermines, lace, farming and Donald Campbell.

The latest additions to the museum is Bluebirds K7's Orpheus Engine and Arthur Ransome's boat "Mavis". There are also guided walks from the Ruskin Museum and Ruskin Lace demonstrations.
