This friendly museum, on the Square in Barnstaple, is the perfect place to start your exploration of the town.
Collections include geology and archaeology, art and social history, including Brannam pottery, Shapland and Petter furniture and the regimental collections of the Royal Devon Yeomanry. There is an active temporary exhibitions and events programme, including regular art, photography and interactive displays.
Look out for The Wild Escape at museums and galleries in the next few months. Many have special events, or you can use our audio introduction to help children get involved at any cultural venue.
Visiting with children?
Use our audio introduction to inspire a visit to any museum, gallery or historic house local to you. Then, just send us your child’s animal artwork when it's finished and we'll add it to the epic collective artwork that launches on Earth Day 2023.
The more you see, the more we do.
The National Art Pass lets you enjoy free entry to hundreds of museums, galleries and historic places across the UK, while raising money to support them.
