The Museum, with its unusual architecture, was built in 1905 as a furniture shop. This continued to the mid 1970's when it became a car showroom.

The Ventnor and District Local History Society purchased the premises in 1987. Since that date the museum has held annual exhibitions every year.

Apart from the exhibition hall, we also have an extensive archive section with many hundreds of items referring to Ventnor and the surrounding area. Research enquiries are welcomed.
