You can learn a lot of interesting things. I liked the part about the founding of Milford Haven including mentions ofNelson and Emma Hamilton. I was also interested in the way women were employed in making nets and in how whaling played it's part in founding Milford. There are activities for children. The staff are welcoming.
Small but dense of info and artifacts, friendly staff. Definitely ask the ladies about their own experiences sailing and whatnot. Also contains a nice setup on the top floor about living at the time and a modern display on in oil trade and renewable energies. Suitable for all ages because of the setup with touch and experience on identified items. Old building and narrow pathways may not be brilliant for wheelchairs etc.. Great for that rainy day.
This place was wonderful. The staff were beyond accommodating and friendly. The exhibitions were appropriate and well put together. I particularly appreciate the kids activities along the way. The gift shop also has a nice selection of magnets, tea towels and other trinkets. Toilets are available and are squeaky cleam.
I called in briefly before lunch but my main visit was, as planned, later in the afternoon. I was welcomed by Christine and John, the latter of whom has an extensive knowledge of local history. What immediately caught my eye was a chairlift to help people with mobility issues to reach the upper floor. I tested it and later used it twice in earnest. I would otherwise have struggled to walk DOWN those stairs. I tagged onto a group of people who had just come in and were listening intently to what John had to say. I was allowed to leave my shopping bag and my coat downstairs during my visit. Although it is only a small place, there are a lot of items on display. The layout is easy to follow but pathways are narrow in places. For me the museum was as full of surprises as Milford Haven is, itself. Not doing justice to the place I chose it because it was accessible by train and I hadn't visited it beforehand. It came as a lovely surprise. There are some lovely shop names along the waterfront.
A beautiful well thought and laid out museum. Highlighting the history of the local area through its shipping exploits, the Great War and the local oil industry of which the rest of the UK relies so much on. The exhibits are excellent and who ever did the model ships should be praise highly they are a work of art themselves. There is a little gift shop by the entrance and there is an electric stair lift to take you up to the first floor if you have mobility issues. Face masks good idea as enclosed space and protects the staff. Well worth the £4 entry fee.
