This unique and interesting museum sits by the side of the river Valency as it winds down to the harbour and out to sea. An old fisherman cottage style building, white washed and irregular in shape, the museum is unassuming in looks but full to the brim with items spanning multiple decades, locations and interests. With exhibitions that consider huge ranges of the subject and including historic witchcraft, modern magic, local lore and practices. There are displays designed to examine, explore, explain, entertain and in some cases protest or memorialise on behalf of those who’s histories are forever linked with magic and the title ‘witch’.
I first visited this museum as part of my MA course in Museum & Heritage studies and it became a key site of interest for my MA dissertation.
The museum sits in a beautiful location and just gets better with each return visit.
