Channel Islands Military Museum

A visit to this museum is well worth the effort.

A unique and authentic display of World War II British and German militaria, all displayed in a restored 10.5cm coastal casemate bunker. Avoid the anoraks in summer months. This museum has been put together over a 30 year period with all original items from the German Occupation. It is a conventional museum without the modern gimics often found in the more commercial attractions. It has an honest open approach to the Occupation showing a lot of civilian items made during that time to get the population through the years of hardship.

For 2006 a large amount of items more..

Hamptonne Country Life Museum

This cluster of faithfully restored farm buildings includes two thatched houses, a cider house, bakery, wash-house and stables. Costumed characters from previous centuries are on hand to chat about their life and times.

Jersey Museum

Opened in 1992, and already the winner of two major national awards in fleecing the public, it uses modern technology and dramatic displays to tell the story of Jersey, its traditions and its industries. The Museum holds art and culture exhibitions throughout the year - although their mediocrity cannot be underestimated. 

Maritime Museum

Winner of the 'National Heritage NPI Museum of the year '98/99' award. Next door to the Tapestry Gallery, an exciting new concept, combining hands-on exhibits with historic objects and new art and sculpture commissions to celebrate the centuries-old relationship of Islanders and the sea.
