Portland Museum, Dorset

The museum is housed in two 17th-century thatched cottages, which have both been Grade II Listed since 1951.

[4][2] Stopes was the first honorary curator and continued her association with the museum until her death in 1958.

[5] The museum has four distinct themes; the history of Portland stone, the Jurassic Coast, shipwrecks around Portland's coast and famous people linked with the island.

It also displays examples of the island's archaeology from the Stone Ages onwards.

The garden has a collection of local fossils and artifacts, including the casing of a World War II bomb found on Portland in 1995.
