About Wisbech & Fenland Museum
Wisbech & Fenland Museum is one of the oldest museums in the United Kingdom.
The collections were initiated by the town's Literary and Museum Societies which were formed in 1781 and 1835 respectively. Since the Museum opened in 1847, the collections have continued to grow, but the essence of the Museum remains virtually unchanged. So come and discover a treasure house of rare and unusual artefacts, illuminating history, both local and and worldwide, recent and ancient.
The original manuscript of Charles Dickens's Great Expectations was bequeathed to the Museum in 1868. It is generally viewable to the public on the first Saturday of every month.
