Ruskin
Museum
|
|
|
"The
most thought provoking in the Lakes"
There has been a
Ruskin Museum in Coniston since 1901, when W.G. Collingwood, a
local artist and antiquarian who had been Ruskin's secretary, set
it up both as a memorial to Ruskin and a celebration of the area's
heritage.
Therefore, although the museum has a Ruskin collection, there are
also exhibits relating to the coppermines, slate, geology, lace,
farming and Donald Campbell.
