Isle of Wight Heritage Service
Museum Service

The Museum Service collects and preserves items relating to the Island's history, archaeology
and geology, and displays a range of these collections through its public museums, currently
the Museum of Island History in Newport; Newport Roman Villa; Cowes Maritime Museum and
Dinosaur Isle.

The Service handles identifications and enquiries relating to museum objects, and provides
professional advice to organisations and individuals on collections care and other museum
issues.
