Life in a Lens Museum

The Life in a Lens museum of Photography and Old Times is dedicated to presenting the history of photography from its invention in 1839 and is illustrated with thousands of items of interest from many periods including mannequins in original clothing.

The museum is displayed in a wonderful Victorian setting in an atmosphere second to non and the entrance is now through our wonderful and very popular 'Victorian Teashop' in the centre of Matlock Bath, which is a great bonus for our visitors. It is a great source of interest and fun for all the family.
