The Seaside Museum Herne Bay |
The Seaside Museum Herne Bay has entertaining displays about this popular seaside resort and the fate of its famous pier. There are intriguing finds of fossils and archaeology, with a hands-on section and a special exhibitions gallery.
Also on display is a prototype of the famous Barnes Wallis bouncing bomb from the Second World War. These weapons used in the historic Dambuster raids were tested off Reculver. Find out more in the Dambuster audio-visual.
The Art Gallery has a collection which focusses on local views and on work by artists connected to the area. Workshops involving practising artists and related to the changing special exhibitions programme are planned for schools as a further focus on making art.
Disabled access is possible to all public areas.
