RIPON MUSEUM TRUST

• 91020 - Museums activities

The Society continued to press the Local Authorities to provide premises for another museum and in 1981, the Old Liberty Prison (built in 1816) became vacant. Ripon Museum Trust was established with the intention of opening the Prison & Police Museum at the Old Liberty Prison and in 1982 Ripon Museum Trust was granted charitable status... Three museums, one great day out. Ripon Museums are the home of poverty, crime and punishment in Yorkshire... Our mission is to use the unique trio of the Workhouse, Prison & Police and Courthouse Museums, collections and stories to help people explore big issues such as fairness, equality, justice and welfare.
