Muker Literary Institute is an iconic historic building built in 1864 (see Literary Institute history and refurbishment ).
It has two rooms. The upstairs room is used by Muker Silver Band. The smaller lower room houses a exhibition of historic photos and artefacts. This is free (though there is a donation box and payment card reader to support the upkeep of the building) and is open to the public most days.


The Institute was, until recently, run by a separate Trust and committee. However in April 2019 the Trustees decided that it made more sense to amalgamate with the Public Hall as both bodies served the community of Muker in similar ways.
