Durrell Museum

Built in 1910 as the Training Barracks and Armoury for a prestigious paramilitary organization in Durrell known as the Arm Lads Brigade. The museum is perched on the top of a hill overlooking the picturesque town of Durrell. It provides a panoramic view overlooking the ocean and a photographer's paradise viewing and photographing majestic icebergs as they pass through Iceberg Alley. The museum houses Officers and Lads ALB uniforms, rifles (surplus from the Boer War, and the First and Second World Wars), brass band instruments and community artifacts depicting the way of life of a typical outport fishing settlement from the late 1800's and the early 1900's. Also featured is a mounted Polar Bear exhibit and recently added Great Auk exhibit. Locally hand made crafts, quilts and knitted items for sale in renovated gift shop. Free Wi-Fi. Durrell Museum and Crafts is fast becoming a major tourist attraction and choice destination for the many tourists and visitors to the Twillingate area.
