The Radio Museum — Attraction in Watchet

Didn't expect to come across this museum today whilst doing the tourist bit in Watchet. Exhibition is not big by any standard but is in the process of being expanded after a recent relocation. Curator and owner Neil is on hand to chat & engage with you on a personal level and I found him extremely polite, helpful and informative on both yesteryear radio transmitters and receivers alike. Exhibits and backdrop soundtrack send you back half a century plus, it creates a massive contrast to the latest tech but shows how far we have come in such a short period of time. Museum is free to all at the moment, relying on donations only I believe. Is it suitable for younger kids, not really, its an older generation venue, but certainly...

A wonderful collection of carefully-curated memorabilia. I visited this museum with my dad (who was born in 1937), which made it all the more interesting, as he was able to describe and reminisce about the things that he'd grown up with and used, throughout his life - including during his time served in the RAF. So, a great walk down memory lane for him, and an education for my sister and I, who accompanied him. Everything is beautifully laid out, with lots of posters, pics and general nostalgia. Great job! Well...

Fascinating and nostalgic. The owner has done a fantastic job of collecting so many things associated with radio through the ages. Some very rare and wonderful things. Enjoyed our visit very much. It's free to go round but we felt it very worthy of making a donation to help keep a fascinating piece of history...
