If the museum is closed, no one is able to answer the phone.

Even if the museum is open, it is unlikely the phone will be answered as we're all busy in the museum.

If you do ring, please leave a message and we will try to get back to you.

Please check the map below for directions to Totnes Museum.

The museum is a Grade 1 building, which restricts our ability to make changes. Nevertheless, our aim is to improve and develop the museum for visitors who cannot access the house. 

Current Access

• Throughout the entire building the floors are mainly original, and are therefore uneven. Outside the building there are cobbles, uneven surfaces and steps. 

• There are steps in and out of many of the rooms and galleries. On the ground floor ramps have been installed to grant access to some areas.

• The upper two floors are accessed by a spiral staircase. The treads are steep and triangular in shape, and are wider on the outside of the step. There is a solid handrail on the wall alongside the wider step and a rope along the mast for grip. 
• Another set of stairs to the first floor only can be accessed from the kitchen, at the rear of the main building. This short but steep staircase gives access to the gallery.
• There are steps to reach up to the Garden and Archive at the rear of the museum.
• Dogs are not allowed in the house. Sorry.

Current Facilities

• There are no public toilets - the nearest are at the Market 
• Museum volunteers are able to assist and welcome visitors.
• Additional information about museum content is available upon request.
• There is seating available in some galleries.
• A sighted guide for the visually impaired is often available - please ask.
