Brixham Heritage Museum

Situated in the old Police Station (1902). Exhibits show the town's fishing and shipbuilding heritage, Victorian costume and much more. Registered charity (No. 306633); registered museum (No. 917).

Presentations and activity sessions are provided for schools and youth organisations and we have also worked closely with Adult Education services. The museum has provided placements within the Torbay Schools Work Experience Programme.

Museum staff and volunteers answer hundreds of enquiries each year, providing local and family history data, photographs and copy documents to people from all over the world. The Museum is heavily dependent on the efforts and enthusiasm of its members, many of whom are volunteer researchers, painters, cleaners, caretakers, guides, lecturers and fund-raisers throughout the year.
