Tullie House

Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery is in the heart of Carlisle's historic quarter, and there is no better place to begin exploring the city's fascinating past.

Displays of prehistoric implements and a life-size reconstruction of Hadrian's Wall bring the early history of Carlisle to life. The turbulent lives of the Border Reivers are recounted in a darkly atmospheric audio-visual presentation. Listen to a first-hand account of the appalling conditions endured during the siege of Carlisle in the Civil War, practise writing on a Roman wax tablet or explore an underground mine, among many interactive exhibits.

With a packed programme of illustrated talks and activities, family events and regularly changing exhibitions it is no wonder that Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery is the perfect place to discover the amazing and varied history of Carlisle through the ages.
