Visit the Fenland and Wisbech Museum

Billing itself as one of the oldest museums in the country, the Fenland and Wisbech Museum is found in the 'capital of the fens', Wisbech in north Cambridgeshire, and opened in 1847.

The result of a bringing together of the town's Literary and Museum Societies, formed in 1781 and 1835, and - we are told - remains virtually unchanged since its foundation, except for a gradual expansion of its collections.
