Regional heritage is the focus of this museum & archive, which features photography & art exhibits.
Turned up at Ventnor museum IOW at 12.55 on the 21/8/24 only to find they had already closed for the day, closing time being 1pm. A gentleman came to the door and I asked if I could just purchase a book, the answer was no but I could buy it online. I guess they had already cashed up as well. Won't be going again and I'm a local.
Nice enamel sign that I recently found of museum when it was a shop!
We really enjoyed this. Some great enlarged old photos and lots of interesting nuggets of info on a range of different aspects of Ventnor's history. It has an old-fashioned, home-made feel to it - including a wooden till you are allowed to have a go on - which won't be everyone's taste but we really appreciated and it's only PS2 to get in.
Super interesting to read about the history and lots of information available. Really knowledgeable staff there and not to bad value. Could let more in these days though, need to relax the covid rules a bit.
Great people with a lot of knowledge started this and the monentum has been kept rolling. Friendly staff and took time to explain a few things to us. Very well worth the PS2 entry fee.
A hive of interesting information with a working scale model of the old Ventnor railway. Run completely by a dedicated team of knowledgeable volunteers. Well worth a visit!
