Like a tardis. So much to see, well laid out in different eras. Situated in the centre of Taunton. More than enough to keep you occupied for many hours.

It was moderately interesting. Free entry. We liked the mosaic floor, the collection of cooking pots and the amazing brooch

This is a small museum with some really good artefacts. It has some nationally important Roman and Prehistoric collections as well as rooms dedicated to the Monmouth Rebellion and Somerset Rifles.
They encourage a £5 donation, which will also give you access to any special exhibitions they have at the time.
Great for adults. Probably lacks "wow" factor for pre-teens. Staff knowlegable and friendly.
Allow about 1 hour.

This is a beautiful gem in the middle of Taunton. I really enjoyed looking out of the windows of the Great Hall onto the other historical buildings within the vicinity and imagining what it must have looked like in the past.
I thought the focus would be the history of the buildings, but it includes going back to fossils and treasures discovered in and around Somerset. It brought to life the rich history of the region.
It's very well laid out, modern and well maintained, with lovely facilities- a little cafe with indoor and outdoor seating.
Recommended to pass an hour or two.

Excellent display of prehistoric exhibits. Pride of place to the Roman mosaic floor. Most interedting Military History Section. Not a big museum but well worth a few hours and the café serves decent coffee.

Beautiful courtyard with lovely coffee and lovely staff. Spent a very pleasant lunchtime. I wasn't hungry but the next table, a good four feet away, had salad sandwiches and I could smell the freshness! Will return.
