With the support of Arts Council England's Renaissance Strategic Support Fund, the three
accredited museums of Torbay are working together to develop a shared vision for the future.
Torquay Museum, Torre Abbey and Brixham Heritage Museum are using this opportunity to take
stock - from our organisation and governance, to how we develop our collections, our
education, learning and community programmes. This exciting project aims to lay the
foundations for a new, more sustainable future for the Museums of Torbay.
Our three accredited museums are a significant cultural, community and economic resource
situated in the 2nd largest population centre in Devon. We intend to grow our value to
our communities and economy, understand our audiences better and increase their range
and spread by developing a range of exhibitions, events and education programmes.
We make significant changes to the way we operate to ensure that our business
planning and operational facilities are fit for the 21st Century. This project will
play a major part in setting us on that ambitious change programme.
