Whitby Museum

About

Whitby Museum is run by the Whitby Literary and Philosophical Society. The building also houses the Society's Library and Archive. For more information please visit the Society's web site at http://www.whitbymuseum.org.uk/

Story

The Whitby Literary and Philosophical Society was established in 1823 and has around 800 members. It is one of the very few remaining Literary & Philosophical Societies that still runs an independent Museum, the older parts of which are often regarded as a 'Museum within a Museum' and have the atmosphere of an Edwardian Museum. The extension, opened in 2005, offers a costume gallery, temporary exhibition room and a lecture (Normanby) room.

Reviews
Great local museum. Absolutely stuffed to the brim with displays and objects, it is almost overwhelming. Some slightly questionable exhibits which could do with new interpretation, but generally a real treasure trove. Ticket allows for annual entry.
£8 for a basic museum experience. My opinion may be slightly tainted coming from Manchester and going to MOSI for free my entire life, but £8 feels a little steep for what is essentially low maintenance cabinets of donated items. The gift shop is also to be avoided if you value your bank balance.
Ok, it's not a fortune, but even with all the inflation in 2024, a local museum with static objects run by council shouldn't be £10 to enter. In Liverpool all the museums are free. None in Whitby are.
Absolutely fabulous Youth Hostel that is possibly ranked No. 1 in the UK.nThe building is stunning, with its own history, very comfortable dormitories, facilities and outstanding food in the restaurant. It's literally a minutes walk from Whitby Abbey, the literary home of Count Dracula, and Whitby Tap Brewery, where the Count would spend much of his time and money if he were real nHighly recommend and will stay here again
Well worth the money. It's not a huge museum but it is stuffed full of exhibits covering a good range of topics. We particularly enjoyed the narwhal tusks. Staff very friendly and helpful. Fresh good quality cakes in the charming cafe.
