A project underway in Frome Heritage Museum, sometimes called Frome Museum
Our current exhibition, Cinema in Frome.

Calling all researchers!

Following several years of development by a team of expert volunteers, the museum’s new online collections catalogue, with tens of thosands of records covering the history of Frome, is now available to all public researchers.

Accessible online via this website, Axiell Collections is faster in terms of searches and downloads than the previous system and will futureproof the museum with its ability to supports new technical developments in the future.

Together with this year’s refreshed branding and new approach to exhibitions and events, it strengthens the museum’s reputation as one of the most advanced small museums in the south west.
