A fantastic museum of the history of Somerset. With interactive elements and plenty of interest for all ages. The exhibitions in the gallery (currently: Journeys in Art by Alexander Hollweg) are always very interesting. Fabulous cafe with light bites and cakes.

Really pleased. I emailed the museum about buying a book that I cant get anywhere else. I couldn't collect so they kindly took payment and posted the book to me in just a couple of days when officially the don't offer this service. Really pleased and will be visiting soon. Thank you

A great museum from paleontological to archaeological with a brilliant section with artifacts from the armed forces.

Interesting museum; I recommend that you go around it on the suggested order, which is primarily in chronological order. Good cafe. (For those interested in musical instruments, I was fascinated by the virginal, which I have never come across before. Pictures came out well, but don't really do justice to quite how curious it is!)

This was an interesting museum to visit, with exhibitions at the start showing the great county of Somerset back as it was before humans! The artefacts are preserved ancient relics, history is provided about the creatures who inhabited the county and Roman area has more info on civilization with clothes to even try on. Cultural history is also depicted through the ornaments and items used back in the day for practices, models are glorious too! There is even a section showing transport from back then, staff were helpful as well.

I visited an exhibition at the museum a few months ago but this time I had the time to explore the whole site. The more permanent exhibitions covering the local area through history are excellent with many superb items, fascinating. There are also temporary exhibitions on the other side of the museum and these are varied and excellent. Lovely cafe with the museum and a great gift shop. My only complaint is that the lifts are much too small for many wheelchairs. I accompanied a relative in a medium size wheelchair and struggled every time, pulling the legs in and raising the back right up which was uncomfortable for my relative.

Amazing military display of military equipment from across the world, from where the Somerset Regiments have served. There is also an interesting display of marine environment. It solely requests on donations and well worth a visit
