Virtual Tour - The Duncombe Room
... is located on the first floor off the Cookworthy Room.
The Duncombe Room was newly refurbished for the 2008 season, funded by a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. It provides a flexible space, which will be used for mounting themed displays of significance to the South Hams.
For 2010 the theme is "Start Bay - a Fragile Landscape". This explores the history, ecology and human impact of a sensitive and vulnerable part of the coast.
The Room also houses two computer kiosks which give access to the museum collection of historic local photographs, and will also show images related to current and previous exhibitions.
