Well there's the Victor Wynd Museum of Curiosities-
http://www.thelasttuesdaysociety.org/museum-curiosities/#.Wlc8crxl_cs although this isn't just witchcraft, it's everything strange and esoteric you can imagine and quite a lot
you can't.
Cecile Dubois (Think she's a librarian at UCL now) did a paper on Occult Collections in London Libraries (including the Library and Museum of Freemasonry in
fact), but these tend to be the more esoteric and hermetic traditions. There's the British Folklore Society, but that is mainly a library and has few or any objects. All of these are generally more for the serious student rather than the more general Witchcraft,
Wiccan or other Pagan Communities.
In London I gather it's the bookshops that tend to be centres, particularly Treadwells- https://www.treadwells-london.com/
but there's the Atlantis Bookshop near the British Museum -
http://theatlantisbookshop.com/ and to an extent Watkins-
http://www.watkinsbooks.com/
Probably the best person to ask in the UK would be Ronald Hutton-
https://research-information.bris.ac.uk/explore/en/persons/ronald-e-hutton%283db1ba2d-46a5-4387-8705-a6a3091b14ac%29.html since he's written some of the definitive works on the subject.

Dear all
I've had an enquiry from a student at the Reinwardt Academy in Amsterdam, who is doing a thesis on the representation of contemporary witchcraft communities in museums (including
USA, UK and the Netherlands). She is looking for examples and advice.
I can only think of Boscastle, but there must be plenty of other displays, exhibitions and collections.
