I've lived in Taunton most of my life and have never been to the museum before. But I wish had. I when with my family and we had a great time and plan to return again later this year to see some of the special events that are happening

The Museum of Somerset is a gem of museum...really interesting local history beautifully presented. I stayed in Castle House apartment owned by the museum for three nights; a spectacularly evocative and charming p-lace to stay in Taunton. Take the behind the scenes tour to go up the tower and secret staircase. Our guide was amazingly knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The museum café supplies excellent coffee and cakes as well as light lunches.

Enjoyed my visit and found it very interesting and well laid out, the only problem was finding the way out! It's a bit of a maze, could do with exit signs, two other people asked me how to get out fortunately, a member of staff directed us. Brian.

The Cafe is superb with bread for sale baked by the Castle Hotel and you do not need to go into the museum although that's very good as well and worth a visit.

The Museum of Somerset (aka Taunton Museum) is a fabulous place to visit. As well as the museum itself there's a cafe with seating inside and outside and easily accessible disabled toilet. The museum itself is divided up into sections covering many aspects of Somerset history from Pre-historic times (don't forget to check out the plesiosaur in the floor) to recent era. Of particular note are a replica of King Alfred's jewel, the only surviving bronze age spear head mold and the Frome Hoard. The Military museum is also housed here highlighting Somersets rich military history. You can't talk about Somerset without mentioning the pitchfork rebellion and subsequent bloody assizes so visitors will be pleased to know that the museum has a section dedicated to those events. The museum has plenty of activities for children dotted around including a colouring area well stocked with crayons and colouring pencils.<br>It's well worth a visit and is free, although voluntary donations are encouraged.<br>The staff are all friendly too!
