THE MUSEUM IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED
We plan to re-open on Thursday 20th May.
We’ve launched an emergency appeal as we’re dependent on our admission income and have limited cash reserves. Donate to our Emergency Appeal.
Tiverton Museum of Mid Devon Life and Tiverton’s Tourist Information Centre welcomes you!
Explore the museum’s large, outstanding collections and trace the fascinating history of Mid Devon. The displays include the ‘Tivvy Bumper’ GWR steam engine, local industries (particularly lace making), farm waggons and the history of agriculture, and the every day home life of Mid Devon folk.
The museum is family friendly and offers a warm welcome to everyone. There is a lively temporary exhibition programme – please look at the events page for further details.

About us
Tiverton Museum of Mid Devon Life is a treasure trove of fascinating objects and quirky artefacts that weave incredible stories about the people who lived here.
The galleries show everything from lace making to laundry, bicycles to brewing and carts to costume.
Tiverton Museum of Mid Devon Life was started by a few energetic individuals concerned that many of the objects and much of the information about Tiverton and the surrounding areas would be lost if nothing was done to collect them in the rapidly changing post-war world.
