Kendal museum for wikipedians.

For wikipedians its not that great. Owned by South Lakeland District Council but operated by Kendall college I guess that makes it a university museum. And the scope of the collection pretty much aligns with that. Unfortunately much of the collection is of fairly common items that have better coverage elsewhere.

The taxidermy collection while reasonably broad lacks anything really uncommon. The Thylacine might be of interest if anyone compiles a complete list of surviving specimens. The Helsfell Cave wolf is of interest and the cave is probably notable. They are however nice enough to include a complete listing of what they have on their website if anyone wants to check.

The Kentmere Viking boat might be another viable topic. Sadly despite its interesting history I doubt the John Hamer mineral collection meets notability standards. On top of that there are a few hoards and a few things that might be relevant to place history articles such as the Witherslack sword. So ultimately its not that there is nothing but that there is a fairly limited amount and what there is would need to be worked at.
