Overview of collections
Teignbridge Museum is a local museum for Teignbridge and its locality. Unusually, the museum has rights to a wreck, thought to be a 16th century Venetian trading vessel, and consequently has a fine collection of maritime archaeology, rare in such a small museum.Overview of how collections are displayed
The museum has displays of maritime archaeology; railway memorabilia; the story of Haldon Aerodrome; and a series of 'then and now' local photographs, as well as information about local trades, crafts and community life.Star Objects at this location
