Who We Are

 In 2021, The Shelley Trust Heritage Museum plan was awarded a place on Heritage Compass, Cause4’s brand-new Business support programme funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport.

The museum will celebrate local history, the Shelley legacy and aid learning, creativity and well-being as a community space for social prescribing while boosting the local economy through tourism and regenerating the environment.
 

International sculptor, Linda Joyce of Icons and Legends has donated the beautiful portrait pictured below, of the iconic Frankenstein author, Mary Shelley. The portrait will live in the proposed Shelley Trust Heritage Museum in Bournemouth, England, the final resting place of the Shelley family. Let's celebrate her connection to the town and memorialise Mary Shelley’s remarkable legacy in literature, science fiction, the arts and education.
