Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery transferred to Trust in May 2011. The Museum is now an independent organisation and is supported by a Board of Trustees chaired by Roger Cooke.

The Roman Frontier Gallery opened on Saturday 25th June 2011 and is already receiving national and international interest. It promotes the western end of Hadrian’s Wall and describes Carlisle’s 400 years of Roman occupation. We are delighted to have a range of objects on loan from  the British Museum. Tullie House is now a British Museum Partnership Gallery.
