Bill Douglas Centre
Founded in memory of the British film-maker Bill Douglas in 1994, this museum on Exeter University campus contains an enormous collection relating to the history of film and optical entertainment. From shadow puppets to Shirley Temple dolls, from magic lanterns to Marilyn Monroe postcards, there should be something to fascinate every visitor.
Whether you are a casual browser, a teacher looking for activities for your class, or an academic hunting for those elusive social history artefacts, you've come to the right place.
