Interesting to see history of the Island and how local Cheese is made. Other exhibits explain different theories as to how the Island was formed and some of the sea life found at different depths. A couple of the videos and interactive features didn't work but the entry fee isn't expensive (€4 per adult over 11 yrs with reduced tickets for children) so very much worth a visit if you're interested in the history of the Island or Cheese.

Update July 2023: Friendly resident Cat likes to play with Walking Sticks and you can now try a plate of local cheeses and a glass of Honey Rum for an additional €3, as well as purchase Cheese and locally made items...
