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.

From the moment you walk through the door you will be transported into the past life of this wonderful town, and begin to understand more about the strong link between the people of the town and the sea.

It's a great day out for a wet day or a dry one

Note our winter hours (November to end March) 12:00-1500 each day

Car parking in Dartmouth is scarce in Summer. Plan to spend two hours in the museum, and use the Park and Ride car park for the most relaxed visit to Dartmouth as a whole.
