Do you like jewellery? Are you perhaps fascinated by the thought of how jewellery was once made? The building features a guided tour around a real jewellery factory where very little has changed since the early part of the last century.
You can see demonstrations of jewellery making techniques at the jeweller’s bench, where you might be taught a handy trick or two. Perhaps the most fascinating part of the factory is the ‘Earth’s Riches’ showcase gallery, where you can see jewellery made from materials found in the natural world.
From whale tooth and coral, to diamond and platinum. Original jewellery from local designers can also be bought within the museum shop.
