With the support of Arts Council England's Renaissance Strategic Support Fund, the three accredited museums of Torbay are working together to develop a shared vision for the future. Torquay Museum, Torre Abbey and Brixham Heritage Museum are using this opportunity to take stock - from our organisation and governance, to how we develop our collections, our education, learning and community programmes.

This exciting project aims to lay the foundations for a new, more sustainable future for the Museums of Torbay. Our three accredited museums are a significant cultural, community and economic resource situated in the 2nd largest population centre in Devon.

Torquay Museum is a great place. Who knew Torquay had so many influential people. So many cool exhibits to look at and friendly staff. Although hard to choose from my favorite piece was a 400,000 year old cave man skull! The explorers floor is just incredible! Check it out!

Not a large museum but lots of local interest exhibits. Worth a visit, especially on a cold, wet day as good way to spend an hour or two.

A lovely Harry Potter/Fantastic Beasts/Halloween event held at the museum, lots of activities included in the small £6 ticket price. Lovely cafe open for hot drinks and cakes during large events, staff all welcoming and very knowledgeable and helpful, love coming to events here, highly recommend.

So much to see , definitely worth spending a few hours there. Agatha Christie exhibition (including some of the genuine Poirot/Miss Marple sets) and the Egyptian exhibition with the mummy as centre stage

Arrived at the Museum today with my Grandson to attend a nice lecture on live animals that this lady had collected over to time .
It was spoilt for me somewhat as I am very aware of various forces afoot mostly in the cities but creeping into our schools in Devon that want to destroy English history and Replace it with the notion ..history from countries that have mainly black or brown people is the only history that should survive
This gentleman introducing the lecturer commented on the fact that Victorian displays of animals in the museum were some how nasty, because they were achieved by Victorians
