The Museum stands in the heart of the town, where the beautiful coastlines of Dorset and Devon meet. Built on the site of the family home of Lyme's renowned fossilist Manry Anning, the building has great idiosyncratic charm and is packed with fascinating displays. There are galleries devoted to Lyme's early and maritime history, its internationally important geology and the many significant writers connected with the town, from Jane Austen to John Fowles. The museum organises fossil hunting walks along the beach and history walks of the town.
