Museum set to be self-sufficient by 2016

Keswick Museum and Art Gallery is opening this weekend after it was closed for two years to undergo a £2 million revamp.

The museum is going to start charging visitors again, as it has done in the past. Adults will pay £3.75 for entry and under 5s will be free. It must be self-sufficient by 2016.

"We're projecting about about 15,000 visitors, paying visitors. In the past when it was free we could get more but we have to earn our living now, we won't be subsidised so every penny counts"

– Tricia Kerr, Chair of Keswick Museum and Art Gallery
