Carlisle's Tullie House Museum can be found in the old city centre, between the cathedral with its suture of romanesque and gothic architecture and the castle once besieged by Robert the Bruce.
Tullie House works within "quite a constrained budgetary framework", although the need to rebuild in Cumbria, centre of the foot and mouth epidemic, means that additional funding from a variety of sources has been found for this summer's big exhibition, Love, Labour and Loss: 300 Years of British Livestock Farming in Art (Stubbs to Hirst).
The cult of the museum, ever more self-conscious, is making it harder to find places that are out of the way, truly timeless and truly themselves, in touch with their own archaeology.

Most Roman artefacts found during the dig ended up at Tullie House Museum, but the remains of the small altar were allowed to be kept by the BBC.
