Exmouth Museum

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.

We tell the story of Exmouth and its people. Exhibits include a 1950s Room, a Victorian Kitchen, Wartime, the Beach, Children's Toys, Railways, Shipping, Antique Lace and Commemorative China. For the children we have Quiz Sheets and our ever popular 'Find the Cat' trail.

The Museum reflects Exmouth's rich social history and includes:

• the development of the town into a seaside resort
• docks and railways
• Victorian kitchen
• the 1950's room
• children's toys and
• antique bobbin lace.

Quiz sheets are available for young visitors.
