Wisbech & Fenland Museum Wisbech & Fenland Museum The Wisbech & Fenland Museum, located in the town of Wisbech in Cambridgeshire, England, is one of the oldest purpose-built museums in the United Kingdom. Originally designed to house both the Museum and Literary Society, the latter ceased in 1877 and the Museum trustees became the sole owners.
