Admission Free!

There is large pay and display car park next to the museum, and the No.28 bus stop is adjacent to the railway station (or opposite on the sea front, depending on which direction you come from).

Please note – there are steps at the museum entrance. For visitors requiring level access, please make yourself known to the stewards on duty. (The reception desk faces the entrance door) and they will assist you with access through the hotel conservatory.

CLOSURE OF VISITOR INFORMATION CENTRE

Please note that the Visitor Information Centre run by Minehead Coastal Development Trust, which was next to the museum, has now closed. It is unclear what will happen to the vacated space but sadly there is no longer a provision of tourist information on the premises.
