Torquay Museum offers a journey through Devon's past, from prehistoric times to the present. Its galleries include a recreated Victorian pharmacy, a natural history collection with fossils and taxidermy, and an interactive Earth Sciences gallery. The highlight for many is the Agatha Christie gallery, which explores the life of the famous crime writer, who was born in Torquay. The museum also features a temporary exhibition space and a gift shop. It's a compact but rich experience, ideal for a rainy day.
