The Lancashire County Museum Service is 50 years old this year. To celebrate, explore the history of Lancs, its people, places and traditions through 50 objects in our collections.

Lancashire in 50 Objects

Covering 9000 years of history and spanning the geography of the county, we will tell the story of Lancashire's origins including its settlers and invaders, our industries, our military heritage, our food and our famous seaside!

Each week Lancashire Museums Service will release a new object representing a different aspect of the county and its history, celebrating the wealth and diversity of our heritage.

From Wednesday 29 May 2024 until 2025, you can also see selected objects on display in one of our libraries or museums and attend one of our many 50 object events which will be added each week throughout the year.

Some recent examples to view and learn more about:

Roman Gemstones at Clitheroe Castle Museum on display at Clitheroe Castle Museum until 7th January 2024

Mussell Gatherers Painting at Fleetwood Library, on display until 6th February 2025
