Dinosaurland Fossil Museum, Fossil museum in Lyme Regis, United Kingdom.
The museum displays over 16,000 specimens across multiple galleries, including marine fossils, microfossils, and complete Ichthyosaur skeletons from the Jurassic period.
The Grade I listed building, constructed between 1750 and 1755 by architect John Whitty, served as a congregational church before becoming a museum in 1989.
The museum maintains a connection to Mary Anning, a pioneering 19th-century fossil collector who made numerous discoveries in the local cliffs.
The museum operates Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM during winter months, with special closure dates during Christmas and New Year holidays.
A timeline running up the stairs demonstrates the extent of geological time, while the Natural History Room connects present-day specimens to fossil collections.
