The Whitby Literary & Philosophical Society runs Whitby Museum, Library and Archives and has monthly lectures. The Society was established in 1823 and has around 800 members. It is one of the very few remaining Literary & Philosophical Societies that still runs an independent Museum, the older parts of which are often regarded as a 'Museum within a Museum' and have the atmosphere of an Edwardian Museum.

Lime Spatulas
Today I haven't got quite as much done as I had hoped but I have unpacked these carved wooden spatulas and put them back on display. They are from the region of Papua New Guinea and are beautiful examples of carved work. So many of the objects in this part of the museum include really expressive faces as part of the decoration.
