it was informitive and small. It didn't take all day to go through it, just enough time to get an idea of the history of the area.

Great local history and special Shackleton antartic expedition history. Great presentation overall. Well worth the visit. Couple of hours easily spent there.

Right in the centre of town, this museum offers a comprehensive picture of life in this area. It is small but has a diverse collection and isi very well presented. There is a small charge but well worth it.
