Museum of the Year 2012, Exeter’s world-class museum is the most visited attraction in Exeter and one of the most visited museums in the South West.

Free entry ensures that everyone can enjoy our stunning new displays and galleries, fabulous exhibitions and modern amenities.

Our spectacular Victorian building links the modern commercial city centre bustle on Queen Street with the city’s historic past. The displays reveal Devon and Exeter’s rich history and global connections. Exotic animals, birds and insects delight children and the World Cultures galleries display stunning items from all over the world.

The busy programme of exhibitions and events means there is likely to be something different to see on every visit. Free entry gives everyone the freedom to visit many times and to stay for any length of time.

The Friends of Exeter Museums and Art Gallery Trust (Registered charity no. 306649) support the Museums in many ways, both practically and financially.

Open Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 5pm. Closed Mondays and bank holidays.
