Lyme Regis Museum stands on the shore of Lyme Bay, over-looking the historic town and the beautiful Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. Built of the site of the famous fossil hunter Mary Anning's birthplace and the site of her first fossil shop, the museum is packed with fascinating displays exploring Lyme’s rich and colourful history. From its internationally important geology, to its rich maritime history and remarkable literary connections, from Jane Austen and Henry Fielding, to John Fowles and Tracy Chevalier.
