The Armitt Collection showcases the diversity of Lakeland history and culture, from the Romans to Beatrix Potter and the artist Kurt Schwitters. There is an outstanding collection of Beatrix Potter’s watercolour drawings, who also bequeathed her collection of 450 fungi!  You can enjoy changing exhibitions and interactive displays for families, and the museum shop sells a range of Made in Cumbria gifts.
