Details:

The stunning Rotunda Museum in Scarborough overlooks the South Bay and was built in 1829. It is one of the best geological museums in the area and amongst the oldest purpose built museums in Britain that still fulfils its original role. The museum was built to illustrate the ideas of William Smith – the pioneering ‘Father of English Geology’ whose work established that geological strata could be identified and correlated using the fossils they contain.
