Its collection started to build up in 1864 when the members of the Lord's started donating items of interest to furnish its Pavilion. Through its community, active loans, and touring programmes, it engages several national museums and schools today while working towards Accreditation Standards. Visitors may enter the museum using a valid match day ticket or a ground tour ticket.
