The dolls' house is a particularly interesting item for children. It represents life in Victorian England as well as linking in to a dramatic murder story of the old manor which was eventually destroyed by fire. It allows children to make comparisons between the changes in the lives of their own times and those  who would be playing with the dolls' house when it  was made.

The Henley Study is a new gallery with interactive exhibits showing the way of life of a Victorian Dartmothian with an interest in Science, Architecture, Art, the natural world, books, music and much else.  It is designed to be
child friendly!

 




















Schools are welcome to contact the Museum to arrange visits to suit their interests. It is usually most effective when teachers come for a preliminary discussion with Museum education staff who will be delighted to help in this way.Visits can be suited to specific Key Stage requirements.
