Tavistock Museum

A very interesting little museum. The two ladies sitting at the front desk were welcoming, even though it was not that long before closing time. The small but lovely display of garments & info on local women writers was engaging, but there was rather a lot of accompanying text to absorb. I was fascinated by the elaborate lectern in the next room, with just enough succinct information to bring its place in local history to life. This amount of explanation suited us much better! No time for the next room, but we would like to return to see the range of other artefacts on display to add to our understanding of Tavistock's history. It would be good to see some interactive activities to engage younger generations. Not sure if there is a souvenir/ gift area or shop - we may have missed it during such a speedy visit & would have had a look. We'll be back!
