The Displays

The Fort has some 70 rooms over half of which contain displays which tell the exciting story of the Nothe Peninsula and the Fort, how and why it was built, the soldiers who lived in it and its guns. Several rooms are devoted to showing what life was like for the citizens  of Weymouth during WW2.

These displays are lively and interesting, making use of full size tableaux, models and dioramas, photographs and items from the collection. Many of the models and tableaux are activated and accompanied by sound. The Fort has its own special team of skilled model makers and the very many models of buildings, events, military vehicles and ships are highly acclaimed.
