Blackpool Museums and Blackpool Art Galleries
(Blackpool, Lancashire, England, UK)



As you would expect, museums in Blackpool are few and far between, with the main offerings being targeted at visiting tourists and containing no real exhibitions of historical significance. That said, the museums and art galleries located in central Blackpool are well worth visiting as part of a family day out and will be sure to bring lots of enjoyment and entertainment.

Whether you are looking for waxworks, television sci-fi or simply classical art works, Blackpool has plenty for everyone. Here are Blackpool's main museums and art galleries.




Blackpool Museums and Art Galleries: Louis Tussaud's Waxworks - Opposite Central Pier, 87 / 89 Central Promenade, Blackpool, Lancashire, FY1 5AA, England, UK
Tel: +44 (0)1253 292 029
Home to more than 150 different waxworks, the Blackpool Louis Tussaud's Waxworks are well worth a visit, although many of the models lack the realism and finish of those at the more famous Madame Tussaud's in London. The waxwork museum features many themed exhibits, such as the Regal Room, Celeb City, Hollywood legends, Rock Factory and of course the gruesome models in the Horrors area, where many notorious murderers are remembered. Finish your trip to the museum with a visit to the Coronation Street cafe, where you will find many waxwork models from this acclaimed British soap opera.
