It wasn't too big, but there were some nice exhibits, including a whole room devoted to Agatha Christie (where no pictures are allowed unfortunately). And a great thing - the ticket is valid for a whole year !

Small museums can be fascinating but usually only if they concentrate on one aspect of history/geography or science. This museum is really just a collection of 'things' with little explanation and no narrative. Children who were there were pulling their parents round to get out as quickly as possible. The Scott of the Antarctic room was the best area but... More

We visited Torquay in terrible weather in March. One positive outcome of the rain was that it meant we went to Torquay museum. It's a great museum, much more interesting that many you find in a small town.

Was closed so did not get the chance to see the museum at its best it wa a shame as I am sure they would have made money
