It was really good! I was surprised how big it was. The staff are truly so friendly they were amazing. went out of their way to help you.
You can nip around in around 20mins or spend a good hour here if you read everything. The jewelry upstairs is the best bit.
I also loved the folk music corner video, very informative and I wish they uploaded it to youtube!

I was very impressed with this free museum. There was much more to see, and it was much better laid out, than I'd expected a free entry museum to be. The building itself was interesting, with much of its own history. There was a very interesting temporary exhibition on at the time of our visit. The café, with outside courtyard seating, was a welcome refreshment break. Excluding the time in the café, we spent an hour in the museum, but you could easily spend a couple if you read everything in detail.

My family and I spent 3 and half hours in the museum. The volunteers were lovely, the museum is well presented telling the story of the area from prehistory onwards. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Loved our visit on Saturday 12th July 2025. Full of amazing rare artifacts and exhibits. Favourites for us were the mosaic and the Cheddar Brooch. It was thrilling to see the objects in person rather than just on the TV.
Staff and volunteers were really friendly and knowledgeable and you could tell they were happy to be there.
The cafe was reasonably priced and the food we had was delicious, especially the cheese scone!!
Will be visiting again and highly recommend that you do too. It is free to visit but please make a donation as we need to keep places like this open.

Was primarily interested in the history of the army regiments from Somerset, and it didn't disappoint.
At Rourke's drift, Lt John Chard was commissioned in the Royal Engineers, but was a proud Somerset man!
Worthwhile paying a visit for all that is on offer, and making a small donation.

Well worth the voluntary donation to enter. Beautiful setting in historic surroundings. We particularly enjoyed the current exhibition on the Monmouth Rebellion. Thank you.

Been visiting twice and they have a nice museum with plenty of things to watch including fossils, English history, romans and many more or if you got hungry, they have a coffee shop where you can just sit and relax. It follows with a gift shop as you can buy mini fossils and rocks and if your children gets bored, you can have an activity for just £1 and they get a treat at the end. Truly recommend this museum as it contains many stories about history.

The museum is brilliant
My only criticism is that all of the lighting in the displays is failing so the text for all of the items is virtually unreadable. It's a shame because there is so much to see. A simple LED upgrade in all the display cases would make this a spectacular museum and an absolute must see while in Tsunton
