Exhibition 'New for 2024' in Sidmouth Museum
Sidmouth Museum opened over 70 years ago and has grown and developed, recently described in a visitor review as a 'gem' amongst museums. the Museum aims to attract the widest possible audience so view it's collections and bring enjoyment to all visitors.
There are many fascinating displays in galleries and rooms over two floors of our quaint building next to the Parish Church. A large proportion of our displays change every year so there is always something new to see. We are constantly adding topics to our Interactive Displays which feature Sidmouth History, Art Collection, Lace Collection, Bio Diversity, History of Sidmouth's Coastline and the History of Sidmouth's Hotels.
The museum has a large Geology Collection on show including rare fossils mostly collected from the Jurassic Coastline, also a significant antique Lace Collection and this year's main display is Local Shipwrecks.
For young visitors this is a Quiz Trail and a Photo Hunt Quiz.
