Museum of WiganLife
The new Museum of WiganLife is set to open this spring, transforming the former History Shop into a ‘heritage hub’ for the Lancashire town. The museum has received £500,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund and match funding from Wigan Council and Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust. Displays tell the story of Wigan from the Roman period to today, including displays of Wigan at War and Wigan Sport. There will also be a genealogical area where people can be helped to research their ancestry.
