The Workhouse Museum in Ripon is part of the Ripon Museum Trust.

Focusing on how poverty has been approached for over 200 years, the workhouse tells the story of the site, the poor of Yorkshire and poverty today. We display a range of artefacts, images, and now artworks, that tell the fascinating stories.
