This small musuem has permanent exhibition areas, temporary exhibitions, an archive/research area and small shop. It is all housed in a modern building with one wing housing the cafe (other review). There were interesting displays and information about the history of fishing in the area. There was also an area set up as a 'street from the past' with shops and housing. The permanent exhibition (downstairs) was interesting and you can look at the some of the local photos, etc in the archive area upstairs.
