North
Somerset Museum
North Somerset Museum is the place
to enjoy discovering the past. It is full of displays telling the story
of North Somerset, from pre-history to the present.
You can find out about the history
of seaside holidays or you go to Clara’s Cottage, a typical Weston home in
1900. The archaeology gallery goes back to the Ice Age with bones and
stone tools from Mendip’s caves. The displays come up to date with
wildlife you can see today.
There is costume jewellery on
display, toys and dolls. There are secret weapons developed on Birnbeck
Island in World War Two. There is even a 22 foot long boat.
Every school holiday there are
competitions and quizzes for children, and special summer activities, as well
as hands-on activities for young and old in the galleries.
Or you can relax with a drink in the
courtyard café or browse in the museum shop for that perfect present.
