Poole Museum, Local history museum in Poole, England.
Poole Museum occupies a restored 19th-century warehouse connected to medieval cellars near Poole Quay, with views toward the harbor. The building combines architecture from different periods and holds collections spanning the region's history, from early discoveries to maritime objects.
The building was constructed in the late 1700s as a warehouse and later converted to a museum, opening in 1989. A major renovation in the early 2000s, supported by public funding, brought it to its current condition.
The displays show objects from different periods of the city's past, including pottery and maritime items that reveal the region's connection to the sea. The exhibits help visitors understand how craftsmanship and sailing shaped daily life in this place.
Access is through the harbor area with parking available nearby and is easily reached on foot. Visitors should allow time to explore the different stories and objects displayed in the rooms, particularly if interested in local history.
A special treasure is a roughly 2300-year-old wooden boat from the Iron Age that archaeologists discovered during coastal excavations. This object is one of the oldest and best preserved boats from that period and shows how people traveled on water back then.
