Our Vision

Our vision for the museum is to provide an attraction that explores all aspects of the JCWHS - a place for exhibitions, research, conservation and community engagement.

The aspiration to create a museum about and for this special place has been written into site management plans since it first achieved World Heritage status in 2001; it is stated in the current Jurassic Coast Partnership Plan 2020-25, endorsed by UNESCO, UK Government, local authorities and partners across the Site, including visitor centres, museums, researchers and fossil collectors.

The brief is for delivery of multiple components of the feasibility study, including to produce a comprehensive site and area evaluation to identify suitable development sites, to assess capital build options and costs, to develop the operational business model and provide recommendations to the Trust.
