'Due to Covid-19 regrettably Dartmouth Museum is closed until further notice. We look forward to welcoming our Visitors again  in the not too distant future' (May 2020)

A small museum housed in an old merchants house dating back to 1640.

Dartmouth Museum displays and chronicles the history of the port of Dartmouth.

The Museum houses an extensive collection of artifacts, models, paintings and photographs which can help explore and develop visitors interests, whether they be in maritime history, the social and economic history of the town of Dartmouth, or the physical changes to the town over the past centuries.

Wet or dry there’s lots to see and do – fun things for young and older children alike and adults too! Take a photo of Mum or Dad in the stocks! – colour a picture of Pirate Pete or make a pirate’s hat  - just  a sample of activities to try.
