The official gateway to Devon museums

Following government guidelines all museums are currently closed for the protection of the public, volunteers and staff. For up to date news and information and to stay in touch please visit the museum websites.

Most of our museums receive little or no financial support from government or local authorities and rely on their visitors to survive. In these difficult times, please consider supporting your museums by becoming a member or making a donation.
