A small community museum on the top of Old Woman Hill that displays fishing-life artifacts and a polar bear specimen, with views over Durrell Harbour.
The Durrell Museum sits on top of Old Woman Hill in the Durrell community. It is run by local volunteers and displays fishing tools, World War II-era objects, and everyday life artifacts. Its best-known exhibit is a polar bear specimen that was shot in the nearby area. The hilltop offers wide views over Durrell Harbour and icebergs in the distance.
