I had difficulty finding the site page for this museum. Maybe eds can give it the alternative name?

Friend and I visited here on 23rd May 2013 and enjoyed interesting variety of displays, especially those on Brean Down and Worlebury.

Well worth a visit if you are on holiday nearby.
Current prices: Adult: £3.60, Concessions: £3.00, Children: Free.
Opening times: 10am - 5pm, Tuesday to Sunday.

Clues to finding it!..(we needed a street map).. from Museum leaflet:
[Walking] From Seafront, walk down Regent St, past Big Lamp corner. Follow Meadow St, at the traffic lights turn left. Follow signs towards Museum.
[Bus] From Alexandra Parade, cross the parade to join Orchard St to the North.
[Train] Leave WSM station, follow Station Rd towards the seafront. At the Town Hall, turn right on to Walliscote Road. At the Odeon, cross the parade, walk down Orchard St following the signs.
[Car] (this just advised following signs in town centre, which we tried to do but failed miserably!)

There does not appear to be any car park nearby, and we'd walked from Grove Park.
We allowed 2hrs for parking ticket, but wished we'd paid for longer, but I was very interested in certain displays, possibly spending longer browsing.
(Brean Down for instance has a temple site, which is modelled and has display of artefacts. Part of research into poss Celtic Sanctuaries in mid-Devon.)
