Welcome to Tullie

​

Welcome

Thank you for your interest in learning more about Tullie. We are a regional museum and art gallery in Carlisle that punches above its weight. We are a registered charity with a trading company subsidiary. We lead a Cumbrian Museum Consortium as an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation.

Nine years ago, Tullie adopted a ground-breaking manifesto and then a 'futureplan' to transform the museum with key objectives to achieve long-term financial sustainability and greater community engagement. To deliver this transformation, £13m has been raised to date from public and private funds, and the first two (£6m) project phases completed on budget.

Phase 3 (£7m) is now underway and will deliver a radical approach to the way that visitors engage with the museum's wide-ranging and extensive collections.

The museum's ambitious programme has excited regional interest and its exhibitions have received national acclaim. Our community support and educational programmes reach many diverse local communities and are in ever growing demand.

We are now looking to appoint up to four new trustees who have the skills and experience we need to ensure that the museum continues to deliver its manifesto and a successful transformation and to shape our work through a diverse range of outlooks and experiences.

I hope that after reading this information pack you will be inspired to apply to be a trustee and help us as we continue to build an inclusive, intriguing and well-loved cultural hub in the heart of Carlisle.
