Lincoln recently had the pleasure of acting host to several moviemakers, notably the filming of The Da Vinci Code, some scenes actually being filmed in the Cathedral. The Collection, of which the Usher Gallery is now a part, is also an important attraction. Housed in a recently opened, purpose-built venue, it currently contains over 2,000,000 objects. Much of the material from official archaeological excavations in Lincolnshire is eventually deposited in The Collection thus it is growing all the time. Other attractions include the Museum of Lincolnshire Life and The Sir Joseph Banks Conservatory at The Lawns, adjacent to Lincoln Castle.
