2026 marks 25 years since the Jurassic Coast was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
To celebrate this milestone, Dorset Museum & Art Gallery is hosting a special programme of talks exploring the science, stories and significance of this internationally important coastline, which reveals 185 million years of Earth’s history.
The event brings together expert speakers to reflect on why the Jurassic Coast matters, how it has shaped our understanding of geology and landscape, and why protecting it for future generations is vital.
