I went specifically for the Roger Fry art exhibition which is on until July 2026. There is an entry fee for this so I purchased tickets online (£4 instead of £5) Admission to the actual museum is by donation - suggested £5.
The Roger Fry exhibition was excellent. Not an artist I was aware of but I very much enjoyed what was on offer.
Having never been to the museum before (despite having lived in Somerset for 10 years now) I did have a look around and had a wonderful and thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Highlights were the magnificent Cheddar Broach and the very impressive and complete High Ham Roman Mosaic. I will visit again as I had to leave to ensure I didn't overrun my Car Park time.

Wonderful museum with fascinating exhibits giving an enlightening insight into the history of Somerset. The presentation is enticing and informative and all within the wonderful castle. An altogether terrific experience, a visit is highly recommended.

Really interesting collection of Roman (large floor mosaic is amazing) and items from historic & prehistoric times. Well worth a visit.

Super Easter trail with two levels. For toddlers and under 6 they had to find toy rabbits with a numbered egg shaped label then colour in the worksheet. Older kids had more of a challenge, searching for 18 objects in the many museum rooms. Very much enjoyed by our 3, 8 and 11 year old grandsons. Activity was great - making butterfly shapes. Lovely staff. Cafe just perfect for lunch- very reasonable, with tasty paninis and generous kids boxes. Parking easy in Tangier car park. Good access. All round winner.

Very friendly staff and good cafe with plenty of choice. Lovely courtyard to sit and take in the view. Activities for children (dress up like a Roman) and plenty of local fossils!

Went in half term and was very busy with families which was great to see but made viewing difficult for non family visit.

No parking close by though.

A great day out, lots to see and do.
Always visit for half term activities which are always very well thought out and fun for the little ones, always very popular though, can be very busy! Cafe was full this time so had to eat elsewhere.
The gift shop layout is somewhat awkward running alongside the tills, busy area, every time i visit i can never browse with the amount of people hanging around in the area, queueing etc.

I visited Taunton Museum today with my Daughter, and Grandson. After our walk around we went to the cafe for some lunch.A lovely young lady served us called Daisy,she was very helpful, and polite, and promoted customer satisfaction, which makes such a difference to have that attention. Thankyou Daisy you were the cherry on the cake.
