A Journey of Discovery in a History Tardis

Louth Museum is one of the main visitor attractions in the historic market town of Louth, nestling at the foot of the Lincolnshire Wolds.

There are four galleries, a classroom/library and a gift shop. Louth Museum was refitted throughout in traditional style in 2006, celebrated its centenary in 2010, and has won four Renaissance Heritage awards and the prestigious Lincolnshire Heritage Museum of the Year 2012 award.

Louth Museum is run by a voluntary charity – the Louth Naturalists’, Antiquarian and Literary Society, known locally as the ‘Ants and Nats’.

Wednesday to Saturday opening begins.

Voted ‘Lincolnshire Museum of the Year 2012’, Louth’s multi award-winning museum is temporarily adopting a four-day-week.

In order to ensure a consistently high-quality and enjoyable experience for all our visitors, we shall, until further notice, not be open on Tuesdays. We offer sincere apologies for any inconvenience this change may cause.

Louth Museum provides a warm, relaxed and friendly environment for volunteer and visitor alike, and will be open Wednesday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. until the end of October 2013.
