Ruskin Museum
This repository of fascinating and thought-provoking manuscripts, personal items, and watercolors by John Ruskin illuminates his thinking and influence. There is also a focus on speedboat racer Donald Campbell, whose Bluebird K7, dragged up from Coniston Water, is on display. It will be fitted with an engine so it can run again on Coniston Water in 2026. Good local-interest exhibits include copper mining, geology, lace, and more. Upstairs, the Dawson Gallery occasionally hosts high-profile artists.
