Welcome to Torquay Museum

Home >

Ranked among the finest in South West England, Torquay Museum is a journey of discovery for all ages.


New for the summer is an eagerly-awaited touring exhibition of the world's most famous ship. Titanic: Honour & Glory provides visitors with a rare opportunity to view previously unseen artefacts from passengers and crew of this ill-fated ship, together with jewellery and costumes worn by Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio in the enormously successful film, Titanic.

Elsewhere in the Museum, the new interactive Explorers Gallery, one of the most modern and creative galleries in Devon, takes you on a journey around the world to discover cultures, objects and artefacts from the past and present.

You can also detect the real life story behind Agatha Christie, the world famous crime writer who was born in Torquay, in a gallery dedicated to her life and work. Or wonder at prehistoric artefacts excavated from nearby Kents Cavern, and then experience the sights and sounds of country living in our reconstructed Devon farmhouse.

There’s also a programme of other temporary exhibitions, events, school holiday activities and workshops, which means that there is always something new to see and do at Torquay Museum.
