Lyme Regis Museum, Independent museum along the Jurassic Coast in Lyme Regis, England.
The museum exhibits an extensive collection of fossils from the Jurassic period, maritime artifacts, and local memorabilia within a Grade II listed building.
Built in 1902 on the former site of Mary Anning's home, the museum was commissioned by Thomas Philpot to preserve the geological heritage of the region.
The museum houses collections related to writers Jane Austen and John Fowles, who drew inspiration from Lyme Regis for their literary works.
The facility offers guided fossil walks led by geologists, annual passes for frequent visits, and remains open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM.
A blue plaque marks the location where Mary Anning, the renowned fossil hunter, operated her first fossil shop in the early 19th century.
