Whitby Museum

Whitby Museum Whitby Museum is run by the Whitby Literary and Philosophical Society.
(209)

The Whitby Literary and Philosophical Society was established in 1823 and has around 800 members. It is one of the very few remaining Literary & Philosophical Societies that still runs an independent Museum, the older parts of which are often regarded as a 'Museum within a Museum' and have the atmosphere of an Edwardian Museum. The extension, opened in 2005, offers a costume gallery, temporary exhibition room and a lecture (Normanby) room.

Looking forward to taking the archive to Westerdale on Saturday.
