We believe culture can enrich people’s lives.

Tullie cares for nearly 1,000,000 objects, each with stories waiting to inspire, excite and challenge. We share these stories through exhibitions, learning, community programmes and creative activities that bring people together across Carlisle and Cumbria.

As an independent charity, we rely on the generosity of our visitors, supporters and community. Running a museum, caring for collections and delivering welcoming events and workshops all takes significant resource.

Your support helps us keep Tullie thriving – as a museum, a cultural hub and a place for everyone.
