Tucked away in the castle courtyard is this gem of a museum. Free entry, with a café and imaginatively presented exhibits.

A must visit if in the area!
We made an impromptu stop at Taunton on our drive back home from North Devon for a spot of lunch and decided to pop in with our children. Museum itself is housed in a castle and very well maintained, with a picturesque courtyard and cafe. As soon as we entered, we were welcomed so kindly by the guides. The exhibitions were very well curated and children were fascinated (dinosaur skeleton, Roman mosaic, horde of coins etc).
There was also an art exhibition of a local artist which was worth visiting - wood cuts, paintings and metal sculptures.

This is a great museum, suggested donation to enter, (which is nice if you are strapped), and had something for everyone. There are fossilized dinosaurs, Roman mosaics and coins, medieval artifacts, and a sweet cafe in a beautiful courtyard.

Had great fun at the Doctor Who exhibition which we planned on seeing. We didn't expect the rest of the museum to be so great. It was superb

Very good museum with a series of interesting galleries featuring differing aspects of the natural and human history of Somerset. I found it interesting and manageable in the amount of information presented. Worth a visit.

We visited for the Sci Fi Saturday event which tied in with a Dr Who temporary exhibition and had a great time! A fascinating museum with plenty of great displays on the history of the Somerset area. The museum is very child friendly with accessible displays and children's activities.

Great museum. So interesting and the staff are amazing and very helpful. So much to see and look at. The cafe had just been taken over and had amazing choices of great cake and the sandwiches where very well filled and well priced. Worth a visit. We will be back

Such a lot of information about the History of Somerset, it very big a surprise around every corner, the week we went it was a Big Dr Who display. History going back thousand of years and more, it blows your mind of all thats there. Well worth a visit 👍.

An amazing place to visit, we went with our 5 grandchildren, age range from 15 months old to 7 yrs old, and their Mum's.
We spent a fabulous afternoon, packed full of entertainment and interesting artifacts and information.
We were lucky to have visited on Dinosaur week, which the older ones loved.
The cafe was very busy, but reasonably priced, with polite staff. We luckily found an outdoor table for us all
A great find by our daughter in law, and we will definitely be coming back on a regular basis.

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.
