The Vision
In consultation with our partners on the Jurassic Coast Collection Working Group, we have drafted a vision statement for the new museum. It provides a starting point for the journey ahead of us and an initial indication of the scale of our ambition.
To create an accessible, inclusive and thriving museum dedicated to public engagement with the Jurassic Coast’s unique geological and palaeontological heritage. A permanent collection representing the Site’s exceptional and spectacular fossil record will grow over time and drive ongoing specimen acquisition, conservation, research, varied exhibitions, education, outreach and partnership working. Taken together, these will embed the natural heritage of the Jurassic Coast as a valuable catalyst for the local economy and community participation in the continued sustainable management of the Dorset and East Devon Coast World Heritage Site.
