Visits, loans, research requests and press enquiries, answered by the team at the Harris Museum & Gallery in Preston.
Getting in touch
The Harris is open to visitors throughout the week, and our staff are glad to help with questions before you come. If you are planning a school group, a private tour or a visit to the reference library, it helps to tell us a little in advance so we can prepare the right rooms and the right people.
For collection enquiries, please write to us with the object, artist or subject you are interested in. Our curators reply to written requests in the order they arrive, and complex research questions may take several weeks to answer in full.
Visiting the museum
The building sits in the heart of Preston and is free to enter. Permanent displays, changing exhibitions and the reference library are all on the same site, so a single visit can cover a great deal.
- Step-free access to all public galleries
- Guided tours booked with at least two weeks’ notice
- Quiet study space in the reference library by appointment
- Family trails available at weekends during school holidays
