The Wisbech & Fenland Museum is an independent charity-run museum.
The Museum is supported by the museum Friends, volunteers, Wisbech Town Council, Fenland District Council, Cambridgeshire County Council, Heritage Lottery Fund, Arts Council England, Association of Independent Museums and many more local organisations and individuals.
The museum is a perfect surviving example of the Victorian museum, an exemplar of the taxonomy systems and learning styles of the period.
