Eclectic is the word for Whitby Museum.
Wander around and notice dusty lumps of rock art on the floor beneath cabinets of beautiful flints and pottery next to fossils, model ships, narwhale tusks, carved jet jewelry etc.
Everywhere you look you find something different, and usually something totally unexpected.
It has the vibe of an eccentric Victorian gentlemans collection. It's a grand place, well worth a visit on a wet weekend.
