Sadly, all the interesting historical stuff has been taken from downstairs. So there is plenty of room for various events, displays etc. at the moment there is a photographic exhibition of wildlife until mid-February. On the day I visited there was a sort of book fair in the lecture room, mostly ancient books/maps etc. Quite a few people browsing which is good. Also quite a few people having lunch, which is also good. But these days the museum isn't one of my favourite places because I miss the treasures!

More street signage would help to find it, but persevere as it it is worth the effort. We were met with a warm, informative welcome. The Myths and Legends exhibition is interesting and well done as are the upstairs galleries. The 1900s cottage felt a little like a work still in progress. There’s a lovely downstairs space perfect for eating cake and chilling. A little hidden gem and it’s free!

We came to see the Dr Who exhibition - we are great fans of the BBC programme ever since it began in the early 50s. The display covered every actor who has played the part of Dr Who through the years. My favourite was always Tom Baker with his very long scarf! There is a Cyberman guarding the entrance - we had our photos taken with it! Weston Museum also has a very nice cafe where we had lunch - toasted panini, salad and crisps. Lovely cups of tea, too! The exhibition is on until lqte January 2024. Go see it!
