Discover the history of Weston-super-Mare (UK) at Weston Museum. Housed in a beautiful and distinctive historic building. We tell the story of the town and the surrounding area from prehistoric times to the present day. Once you know your history you understand more of who you are, you learn from the past and find ways to predict the future and even help create a better one. Weston Museum's free admission means that the museum is truly for everyone and is quickly becoming a popular destination among tourists as one of Weston's top attractions.
Visited Weston for a day and saw this on my last few hours. Clara's cottage was my favourite part - seeing how life was illustrated in a home in the 1900s. Very nice doll collection by Peggy Nisbet. Also, more local history about Weston and its development upstairs. I would recommend seeing this museum before you've done anything else, to get a grasp of the history of the area.
Lovely little museum with friendly staff. Details the history of weston from prehistoric times to modern day. Also has a cafe and an old fashioned cottage that you can look around for free. Beautiful little gem.
We went to the museum during the midterm break. It was a little busy but we didn't have to wait. They had some exhibitions going on - Dr Who and a Renactment. It was really informative and the kids (4 year olds) had a great time. They specially liked Clara's Cottage. In the main museum, there were puzzles for them to arrange and a mini movie upstairs. There's also a little reading corner with few toys. It was a fun day out. They got tired so we didn't explore every bit of the museum so we'd be going back.
We have visited a few times now. A mix of changing displays and permanent exhibits. Good cafe, nice to visit when weather not so good. Can be hard to find. Donations only so good on a budget. Visited again today, you always see something new. Sorry to see laughing sailor not working as it's a favourite of ours
Wonderful small museum with lots of information about Weston super Mare. Bright and friendly with lots to see. Don't miss Clara's cottage! Lovely cafe and shop available as well as regular exhibitions (Quentin Blakes artwork at moment). Great museum for old and young. No parking (street parking around at a cost) disabled and pushchair access and customer toilets.
Cute place. Today it was not busy because it was sunny so the majority of people were at the beach. The staff is nice. Its a small museum but it is very interesting so i recommend. There was an exhebition about myths and beasts where you can see different artists works+ books they have worked on, there is a corner you can sit on the cleverly designed log beanbags and read a book from the basket. Upstairs has a bit about weston history. there are a couple of interactive bits you can do, puzzels or touching the potato stone. i always want to touch things in a museum so if there are interactive bits im instantly happy. Also you can try different hats on and historical outfits. You cant eat outside food in the seating area bellow but can buy cakes and drinks from their cafe which are good tasting, brownie and viki sponge was 3 pounds a slice. Gift shop had cool animals made from stones that i didn't buy but they were 3.50 B) super cute Ohyeah and i LOVE the toilets design the green tiles im in love toilets are clean
