FREE ENTRY - DONATION POT BY THE DOOR. Visited Blackburn Museum on Thursday and it was a very pleasant surprise 😊 The Staff were brilliant and had lots of information on things on display. A GREAT PLACE TO TAKE THE CHILDREN. They literally have a bit of everything and the Greek coin display wall is fantastic! I enjoyed looking at the Art which they have. It's in excellent condition and very bright. The Egyptian section has some very interesting item but I think the Mummy and Mummy head should be returned to the Egyptian museum in Cairo. If your interested in 15th century books they have a good selection also a Torah Scroll from the 18th Century. A good section of the Museum deals with the industrial revolution and they house some large weaving machines. I I carn't believe it's free 😊 Make sure you visit and if your a family with kids get them down there for a wonderful day out! 10 out of 10 Blackburn Museum you deserve it and all the dedication and hard work you've put in are obvious to see! A big massive thank you! 😊💛

A surprising little gem in Blackburn Town centre nr the Town Hall. 2 floors with the art gallery upstairs. On the ground floor there's a large collection of old spinning machines and loom's which became even more interesting when the Room Steward began to explain their background and history, especially since he had worked assembling them years ago. There's a small costume section, some stuffed birds, an Egyptian section with a mummy and a mummified head, but the best part, in my opinion obviously, was the art gallery with the biggest collection of donated wood prints by the famous master Japanese Ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige from 19th century, including the Great Wave and Red Fuji. It's just a pity that there's no cafe serving coffee and cake or little shop selling copies of some of the paintings made into greeting cards, I would have liked to buy a few.

We visit Blackburn museum often and we always thoroughly enjoy our time there. There are the permanent exhibitions with local history, the textile revolution, the gallery and the Egyptian room. However there are a multitude of exhibitions and events throughout the year, currently 'come as you really are' is open till Saturday and I feel it's been the best exhibition so far! There are always crafts available for children and this visit we made Egyptian bookmarks with gold leaf and took part in some colouring. The staff are always very welcoming and recognise people who visit often.
