Harris Museum

The Harris Museum, now known as The Harris, is a Grade I-listed building in Preston, Lancashire, England. Founded by Edmund Harris in 1877, it is a local history and fine art museum, and public library, covering 60,000 square feet (5,600 m2) and 23 public spaces. Prior to its 2025 re-opening, following a £19 million renovation, it attracted around 345,258 visitors annually. Monthly visitor numbers have reportedly more than doubled since its re-opening. Like other publicly funded museums in the United Kingdom, The Harris does not charge visitors for admission, although visitors are requested to make a donation if they are able.
