Poole Museum Reopens - Poole Pottery On Display
For nearly two year, Poole Museum has been closed for refurbishment. A short while ago, after extensive renovations and improvements, it reopened to the public.
The museum include a wide range of exhibits relating to Poole’s history, but of particular interest to Poole Pottery fans is the large display of Poole Pottery. The display covers most of the last century of Poole Pottery and the Poole Room Blog has an excellent review for anyone who is interested.
Many of the pieces on display were bought by the local council at the 2004 auction of the former Poole Pottery factory archives - although what’s on offer here is only a fraction of that which could formerly be seen in Poole Pottery’s museum.
For anyone who’s in the area and fancies a look, current opening hours for the Poole Museum are:
- Monday - Saturday - 10am to 5pm
- Sunday - noon to 5pm
(From 21st March 2008 to 2nd November 2008)
