Free to enter, helpful and friendly staff. Exhibition is wide ranging, focused on the evolution of somerset from early beginnings thru the rebellion (lots. On this) and more. We spent a few hours and saw some "one of the oldest" exhibits and "one of the largest in the UK" exhibits, so they do have some decent claims to visit. Didn't have time to do the military museum, but will go back soon. Recommended to occupy you for a few hours. Kid friendly with interactive elements as you go around. Cafe, gift shop, outside seating when the weather is nice. Don't forget the Almshouse before you go in, it's easy to miss!

Child-friendly musuem. Loved the Half-Term activities - staff are very helpful & interact with the children. Recommend visiting the changing exhibitions (interesting for adults & children). Good food in café (highchairs available); accessible baby-changing facilities; lift for prams/wheelchairs. Not usually open Mondays. Free entry (donation box).

Nice modern museum. All the staff were very friendly. Not a huge museum so won't take long to get around but still is nicely put together. Toilets are good too - which is always a selling point for me. The cafe looked nice but the vegetarian selection was a bit boring so we opted to go elsewhere.

This really was a lovely day out. It's quite a small museum but there are some very interesting exhibits.
There is a suggested donation of £3 per adult, you can pay £1 per child for quizzes based on the exhibitions.
There a number of excellent of fossils on display, presumably recovered from the Somerset levels, and an amazing example of a Roman mosaic, as well as some activities for kids to interest with.
The exhibits are interesting and there are plenty interactive instalments to keep the children interested, and there is a very nice cafe on the way out. Delicious coffee and hot chocolate and the food looked very nice too.
I would recommend this as a good (and cheap) day out.

If you are un Taunton for a day out or passing this is a lovely way to spend an hour and free too. Just not worth a long trip especially for it.

Really interesting museum. They have lost of different things going on here...last time I went the theme was the Tudors, spent quite a while speaking to a very knowledgeable man. Also there was an art exhibition and a craft session for children ... there is usually something for children so a good place to visit in the holidays. Free entry... .just a donation box , so affordable for all.
