Helena Thompson Museum

The museum was bequeathed to the people of Workington by Miss Helena Thompson. Helena had a special interest in the history of costume and needlework, and collected many examples of women's and childrens's dresses in the styles fashionable from the late 18th century to the beginning of the 20th century. A selection of these, along with jewellery and accessories are displayed.
There are various special and touring exhibits throughout the year.
