Frome Heritage Museum
The small and compact Frome Heritage Museum depicts not just the historical fabric of Frome but also the culture, businesses and people that have formed the town and helped it thrive.
We hope to inspire you to come and visit a historical market town that continues to be treasured by those who live and work here.
Opening Hours
We are open Tuesdays to Saturdays from 10am to 2pm.
We are also open on Frome Independent Market Sundays.

We are located in the centre of the town in the Frome Literary and Scientific Institution, a historic listed building close to the Market Yard car park.
