Who we are
Ripon Museums Trust comprises three unique heritage sites in Ripon city centre, North Yorkshire—Ripon Workhouse Museum & Garden, Ripon Prison & Police Museum and Ripon Courthouse Museum. The museums tell powerful and often challenging stories about law, order, justice and welfare and how these themes have shaped society past and present. RMT is entering a transformative phase following the successful award of £2.5m from The National Lottery Heritage Fund and additional match funding.
