Opening Hours

Louth Museum is now closed for the winter.  Louth Museum is normally open April to October, Wednesday to Saturday, 10 am to 4 pm.

While the museum is closed

While the museum is closed for the winter, why not take a virtual tour of the museum (TAKE A TOUR), search in our collection (GALLERIES – ONLINE COLLECTIONS) or read our regular blog posts (click below).

"Louth Then and Now", a book based on the exhibitions of old photos that were held in the museum, is now published and would make a super Christmas present!  Price £20.  It is available at the Ants & Nats meetings on Tuesday evenings before Christmas.  Or contact Louth Museum to arrange a time to purchase it from the museum.

Would you like to join our great team of volunteers?  The role of a volunteer is varied and exciting, helping to keep Louth Museum running smoothly.  During the open season, most volunteers undertake a weekly 3-hour shift.  If you feel you might like to help or require more information, do contact us.
