Dartmouth museum is OK, but I would have expected more from such a historic maritime town. The museums in smaller towns such as Kingsbridge and Salcome are far better. More

This is a lovely interestiing and informative museum in the wonderfully intimate setting of one of Dartmouth's most historic buildings. Lots of incredible ship models, wonderfully quirky, uneven flooring and a very moving section on Dartmouth's part in the two World Wars, including a rivetting documentary about Operation Tiger. All in all the best £2 ever spent and highly recommended... More

The three rooms each have a different theme, and the displays are so good that you aren't overwhelmed by the tremendous amount on display. I passed a happy couple of hours. The time flew. There's a new display on WW2's effects on the town, too. It wasn't... More

I spent a weekworking at Dartmouth Museum and i must say it is fantastic. Although it is small it is very well formed and it is obvious the amount of hard work that has been put into it. Considering everyone who works there are volunteers, it is well run and organised. The artifacts within the museum are exciting and informative.They... More
