A nice little interesting museum which is free to enter although there is a donation box and donations are welcomed. There is a television screen with a recorded programme you can watch which is very good. There are also a lot of clear information boards and some small shop window displays. There are lots of things to see in cabinets and although it's not a big museum you could easily spend half an hour in here reading everything. There's also lots of little trinkets to buy ranging from small fossils to jewellery to toys and games.

The museum is free entry and it's 1 room, the size of an average shop floor, it's utilised with history boards, models, local stone method finishes, jurassic coast stuff, seaside heritage and seaside bygone. The time I was in the museum there were very few visitors, to support the museum you can either buy an item or give a small donation on the card reader.
