Museums
Step into a world of colour, creativity, and childhood wonder at our Games, Marbles, Pottery, and Glass Museum. Explore timeless games from around the world, admire beautifully hand-crafted marbles, and discover the artistry behind traditional pottery and delicate glasswork.
Marble Museum
Our Marble Museum showcases an extraordinary collection of marbles spanning the ages – from early examples crafted from clay and stone to some of the oldest known glass marbles ever discovered, each with its own fascinating story to tell.
Highlights include a striking trio of oversized marbles made from actual marble stone and an impressive collection of bespoke marble runs, handcrafted exclusively for us by renowned Swiss artisan Alex Schmid.
Games Museum
Step into a world of nostalgia at The House of Marbles’ Games Museum – a delightful journey through the history of play. This unique collection showcases classic games and toys from decades past, sparking fond memories for older generations and curiosity in younger ones.
Pottery Museum
If you have ever visited us in Devon, you may have wondered why we have a Pottery Museum. The reason is not just simple, but also fascinating – the buildings that the House of Marbles occupies are referred to as ‘The Old Pottery’ because they are located at a unique and rich historical site of pottery making.
Glass Museum
Our Glass Museum provides a concise overview of the glass-making process, featuring a diverse collection of fascinating pieces. Discovering something new while potentially gaining a new interest is equally as important as passing on the Victorian making skills that Teign Valley Glass still aims to do today, to keep those skills alive for years to come.

We have been recognised by a Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence Awards in consecutive years from 2014 - 2019, and the new Traveller’s Choice Award in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023!
