Weston Museum - Weston-super-Mare

Brim Zeze

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.

Fantastic museum, beautiful building. Small but really well curated exhibitions with great hands on exhibits for all. Good little cafe and small gift shop with really helpful and informative staff. Go you'll love it.

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

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.

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

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.

One of the best local small museums around! Very engaging and informative. We particularly enjoyed seeing how Weston-Super-Mare developed from almost nothing to a bustling seaside town in the 1800s. (Please note their cafe stops serving at 3pm.)
