Find out about: Exmouth Museum
About Us
Exmouth Museum was first opened in 1985 and is housed in a 19th century building which was the Council Stables together with the adjoining foreman's cottage. It is now divided into three galleries, two on the ground floor and one on the first floor.
The museum is seen end on from the road making it appear a lot smaller than it really is.
We show various aspects of Exmouth's past including Local Businesses, Wartime, Children's toys, School Photos and artefacts, Railways, Local Bricks, Antique Lace and Exmouth Commemorative China.
For the children we have Quiz Sheets and our ever popular 'Find the Cat' trail.
Facilities
Wheelchair access to ground floor only. Photos and text available for upstairs exhibits.
