Dartmouth Museum

Dartmouth Museum is a small, fascinating and interesting museum housed in an atmospheric old merchant's house, built in approximately 1640.

The Museum houses an extensive collection of artefacts, models, paintings and photographs which can help you explore and develop your 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.

As you come into the museum through the unassuming doorway in The Butterwalk, don't just rush ahead. There's a whole cabinet on your left that you're in danger of missing. Pause and listen to the short audio presentation as it invites you in.
