Towneley Hall Museum & Art Gallery is a magnificent Grade 1 Listed building situated in over 24 acres of parkland in Burnley, Lancashire. Purchased by Burnley Council in 1902, the hall was formally home to the Towneley family for over 600 years.
It now houses a wide variety of historic museum objects and fine art collections, whilst also featuring contemporary exhibitions and events throughout the year. The collections at Towneley Hall range from fine art, ancient Egyptology, social history, military history, historic furniture, historic textiles and natural history.
Alongside the many varied collections, the Hall features period rooms with stunning architectural features such as The Great Hall, Chapel, Regency Rooms and The Long Gallery. In 2025 Towneley Hall re-opened to the public after a 2.5 years restoration project which saw The Great Hall restored to it’s original 1720’s decoration scheme. Towneley Hall is one building with many stories.
