The Beacon Museum

Cumbria’s Beacon museum and art gallery in Whitehaven re-opened on 5th October 2007, unveiling a brand new look and a host of new displays and interactives developed with input with the local community.
The museum and gallery had been closed since June, andthe harbourside landmark museum has been transformed in a £2.2 million project reflecting local heritage, from seafaring to ballroom dancing.
One of the most important aspects of the project was to make The Beacon a community hub, not just a place for tourists, so lots of consultation was carried out to find out what resources locals wanted.
