Lakeland Museum, formerly known as the Museum of Lakeland Life and Industry, explores centuries of Lakeland life and how the landscape has shaped local communities and industry through its collections. It's part of Lakeland Arts, which also runs Abbot Hall, Blackwell – the Arts & Crafts house, and Windermere Jetty Museum. The museum is currently closed for a multi-phased redevelopment project intended to reimagine the site for future visitors, so it cannot be visited at present. It sits in Kendal, Westmorland and Furness, Cumbria, close to Kendal station just 0.7 miles away, with 61 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays for those planning a trip to the area once the museum reopens.
