The official gateway to Devon museums

Following the updated government guidelines from July 4th some museums and heritage sites are open, or planning to reopen, to visitors but many museums remain closed. For up to date news and information and to stay in touch please visit the museum websites.

A map and list of Devon museums that are now open can be found by visiting our open museums page.

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.
