Information about this winner

This new museum is at the heart of a regeneration area and is part of a plan to establish a cultural quarter. The museum houses archaeological and historical artefacts and is well used by the community. The design of the museum has been developed to create connections throughout the site and improving links with an adjoining gallery and gardens. The external courtyard allows activities within the museum to spill out in summer months, while also creating a new public space for Lincoln. Internal spaces are carefully and creatively designed; the lecture theatre is eye shaped which makes for a better relationship between the audience, speaker and screens. This is a beautiful building, with superb and clever views of the cathedral through carefully placed windows.
