Milford Haven Museum, Maritime museum in Milford Haven, Wales.
Milford Haven Museum occupies The Custom House, a historic stone building in the central dock area. The exhibition spaces contain collections about maritime history, the fishing industry, and the town's transformation from a whaling port to an energy center.
The museum was established in 1991 to document the town's transformation from a whaling port to an energy center. This shift shows how the economic foundation of the town changed dramatically over time.
The exhibits showcase the fishing industry, railway development, and wartime stories that shaped the town. These displays reveal how deeply these activities influenced the community's character and daily routines.
The building is centrally located and easily accessible on foot from the harbor area. Visitors should check opening times in advance as schedules may vary seasonally or due to special circumstances.
The archaeological collection includes a Bronze Age wooden trough discovered at St Botolphs in 2006. This ancient artifact predates the port's maritime history and offers insights into the region's earliest inhabitants.
