If the weather is a bit damp, pop in for a look round the Brixham Heritage Museum. I'm particularly interested in Modern History and Brixham's role in WW2 and the D-Day landings in June 1944 was very informative.

Brilliant. A very informative visit packed with information which makes you want to return. Superb value for money, a visit is a must for any person interested in either the history of Brixham the coutries' fishing heritage and boat-building in the 19th century

I visited Brixham Heritage Museum to do some family history research. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. I believe they are all volunteers. They had the records I needed on microfiche. There is also a computer available. You can pay to do your own research or volunteers will research for you, again you have to pay. But it is... More

We have walked past the Brixham Museum on many occasions when visiting Brixham previously, and finally went in last week. (It was a cold, blustery day, so why not?!). What a fabulous series of rooms and displays! It was well worth the small admission fee. The museum is full of interesting artifacts and commentary, and there is a really good... More

A voluntary organisation with many memories of Brixham over the years. Fishermen and farming lives. Also wartime memories.

This town museum is small but charming. Plenty to interest anyone, from an intelligent adult to a toddler. Nice clear explanations of everything, several nice audio-visual loops, lots of "hands on" stuff, friendly helpful staff, a good logical layout. If I had a criticism, I'd like to see a little less space given to general "olden days" stuff (Victorian parlour,... More

Excellent for the family - five and one year old were kept entertained with toys, childrens areas, dressing up and treasure hunt etc. The gentleman who showed us around was lovely and incredibly knowledgable. Great idea if it's a rainy day.

What a little gem this place is. We thought we would be in and out in quickly, but were kept interested for quite a time. The ground floor police cell, shops, workshops etc were very informative. If you are unable to get upstairs then there are full description books available downstairs, and please ask the kind volunteer staff plenty of... More
