The Wisbech & Fenland Museum, located in the town of Wisbech in Cambridgeshire, England, is one of the oldest purpose-built museums in the United Kingdom. [2] The Museum Society was founded in 1835 and was originally located at 16 Old Market Place. Its collection of Natural Science specimens, antiquities and curios soon outgrew the premises and it re-located to the present purpose-built building in 1847.
