Ruskin Museum is a small local museum in Coniston, Cumbria, northern England. It was established in 1901 by W. G. Collingwood, an artist and antiquarian who had worked as secretary to art critic John Ruskin. The museum is both a memorial to Ruskin and a local museum covering the history and heritage of Coniston Water and the Lake District. The museum is a registered charity in England & Wales, constituted as The Coniston Institute and Ruskin Museum.〔(Charity No. 222234 - The Coniston Institute and Ruskin Museum )〕 ==Collections== Its collections include material on the copper and slate mines of the region, geology, lace making, farming, and writer Arthur Ransome. A larger collection is devoted to the life and work of John Ruskin. A specialist collection covers the achievements of Donald Campbell, who died while attempting a new water speed record on Coniston Water. In December 2006, his daughter Gina Campbell donated the salvaged remains of ''Bluebird K7'' to the Ruskin Museum on behalf of the whole Campbell family. The original boat as recovered is now the sole property of the museum, and the boat is being rebuilt for the museum under the control of The Bluebird Project led by Bill Smith. 〔(Ruskin Museum statement )〕〔(Westmoreland Gazette: "Bluebird donated to Ruskin Museum" )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ruskin Museum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
