It's mostly archaeology, military, and a Doctor Who display. The museum has been modernised, but the exhibits didn't grab my attention. There are facilities for a long stay but not necessary. I'm glad I went, but once you've been, there's nothing to make you want to return.

I visited with a primary school group. We were looked after amazingly throughout. The lady who led the educational part of our visit was exceptional. The gallery is well laid out and full of interest and learning experiences. The Doctor Who exhibit was a welcome surprise! I will definitely be back with my family at some point soon.

Incredibly interesting museum. We visited during the Doctor Who exhibition and it was fun being exterminated by a dalek. The geology section of the permanent exhibit was really well done and it was fascinating learning about the human history of the region over the millennia. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

A bright and up to date place to experience Somerset's history in historic surroundings.<br><br>There is a lot here to enjoy and for free! (donations encouraged).<br><br>Im a nerd for history and enjoyed the detail covering how Somerset wnet from a coral sea with dinosaurs, through ice ages of wooly rhinos, wolves and bears through to more modern timesw with some really lovely and important historical artefacts from roman through to anglo-saxon and the viking periods.i wont spoil it but check out the photos for some examples.<br><br>There are family areas for a bit more interaction for.children and a mice cafe where you can have a cup of tea outside or in.<br><br>When I went there was a Dr Who exhibit and a separate military museum.<br><br>I had a very enjoyable 2 hours or so here.<br><br>Parking is available nearby.

This is one of the best smaller museums I visited in England. The collections are diverse and beautifully displayed in a fascinating old building. The diversity means there is something for everyone to enjoy. Everything from Natural History to Roman to the Bloody Assizes on to Georgian - and it’s FREE! Loved the room with the literary quotes.

During a two night trip to Somerset, the weather was awful, so an indoor attraction was essential. However, turns out that the poor weather was to our advantage. The museum is very well curated, starting with Jurassic fossils, and one of the best Roman mosaics I’ve seen. The floors of the museum lead upwards towards the modern days. The cafe is well stocked for a rest stop on the way.

Had a great morning here. It took around 2-3 hours and is well worth seeing. Very low mobility or the disabled friendly.

An unexpected gem. We popped in with our three children because it was raining and we spent a wonderful couple of hours here. It's well curated with lots of finds. A couple of sizable hoards, some Roman mosaics and the South Cadbury Shield were our favourites. Staff were very friendly and helpful too.
