Teignmouth and Shaldon Museum - Teign Heritage
Teignmouth and Shaldon Museum - Teign Heritage is TEMPORARILY CLOSED! From: Sat 1st Nov 2008 To: Fri 1st Apr 2011

Teignmouth and Shaldon Museum – Teign Heritage will be closed for the whole of 2009 and 2010 but just think of all the exciting things to come in 2011 after our new annexe is built.

We will have much needed facilities: -
  • A beautiful foyer with a welcome desk and the first chance to see our Victorian bathing machine and Morgan Giles boats – small ones but showing superb craftsmanship
  • a community space for meetings
  • a lift to enable those with mobility problems and people with small children access to all of the display areas
  • a brand new look to our collections which is being undertaken by a professional designer in association with our own archivists
  • some easy-to-use interactive elements
  • the ability to have touring temporary exhibitions for which we could not, previously, find space.
  • three toilets including one suitable for disabled use
  • also a roof terrace, which can be used when conditions are right – of course we always have sunshine in Teignmouth, don’t we?
In the meantime we have a temporary, town centre, office - the address is:

Teignmouth & Shaldon Museum - Teign Heritage
