Ruskin: Museum of the Near Future
Ruskin: Museum of the Near Future invites you to reflect on how life takes shape and where tomorrow’s world is today.
Future Plans
Our most ambitious capital project since The Ruskin opened will make our collection, programme and research accessible to more people, in our iconic building.
While The Ruskin building is closed, follow the redevelopment project here until the museum reopens in 2024.
Exhibitions
While The Ruskin building is closed, see the collection in London and Lancaster.
John Ruskin in the Age of Science is a programme of temporary exhibitions showcasing The Ruskin’s collections at Brantwood, Ruskin’s house in the Lake District, and at the Royal Society, London.

Programme
Join our Schools programmes, learn a new craft skill in our artist-led classes at Lancaster Castle, or join a free workshop for families during the holidays.
Find out what’s on here.
Explore the art and ideas of John Ruskin (1819-1900), writer, artist and radical thinker. Our collection is displayed both at The Ruskin, Lancaster University and Brantwood, Coniston.
The Skies are for All: Ruskin and Climate Change
A lifetime of observing the skies led John Ruskin to conclude that human activities were damaging the environment.
The exhibited works are drawn from The Ruskin, Lancaster University, and the Royal Society, London, a Fellowship of many of the world’s most eminent scientists and the oldest scientific academy in continuous existence.
