Housed in two seventeenth century cottages, once owned by its founder Dr Marie Stopes, Portland Museum has an amazing collection reflecting the history and people of the island.

The Museum’s varied collections cover everything from the history of Portland’s stone industry, the island’s maritime past and the local community and social history, as well as housing a large number of Jurassic fossils.

It is tucked away at the bottom of Wakeham, above Rufus Castle, Church Ope Cove, and just off the South West Coast Path.

Information about opening times and special events can be found on the Museum’s website.
