The Etches Collection,  in Kimmeridge, Dorset was listed as one of the twelve new museums to visit by Smithsonian.com in 2016.

​

The museum houses the collection of Steve Etches MBE, who collected and researched over 2000 late Jurassic Kimmeridgian fossils over 30 years.

​

The Etches Collection aims to bring to life the stories of the creatures that existed in the Kimmeridgian age through the use of traditional displays and projected CGIs.

​

The museum has a dual use with the education facility doubling as a village hall. Kimmeridge is an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the building was designed to complement its setting.
