Custom House Cafe - Poole

Both beautiful and interesting. Well worth travelling two hours for.

It is a very well laid out and presented museum with lots of local interest. The sketches on loan from the British Museum are stunning. And it's all for free!!

Excellent facilities on 3 floors with good disabled access. Very good for all ages, with plenty to see from the very long history of the Poole area. Very well set out permanent and visiting exhibitions. The cafe has a lovely small balcony with a few tables and an interesting view of the old shops, houses and the quay. Reasonable prices here, but who's complaining when there is no entrance fee? Highly recommended.

I visited a year or so a walk, found it wonderful, amazed it was also free. will definitely be visited again soon.

Really good presentation with a wide variety of artists exhibited. Very good notes written for each one with exhibits grouped into the approach taken in completing each piece....although the information cards were all at hip level for me (1.85m) so the freely available collection of notes was an infinitely better choice for me. Unfortunately too the lighting was at my head height because of the low ceilings...but these are minor inconveniences. The fact is it's an excellent exhibition to have brought to Poole. Thanks to all involved. If you're local certainly don't miss it!
