The Harris Museum

Located in a Grade I-listed building the Harris Museum is a popular Art gallery in Preston, Lancashire.
Renamed to The Harris in 2020, It is still in operation as a local history and fine art museum.
Founded by Edmund Harris in 1877, the Museum is also home to Preston Public Library.
Fine art, decorative art, clothing, textiles, and history, as well as archaeology and local history, are all represented in the Harris collections.
Discover Preston, a permanent history display inside the museum, covers Preston’s history and also contains a Discovery Room with the museum’s larger items. A exhibition of a 13,500-year-old Ice Age elk with two embedded man-made barbed points, the earliest trace of human presence of Lancashire, was discovered in 1970.
