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.Visited on

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.Visited on

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.Visited on

Been visiting twice and they have a nice museum with plenty of things to watch including fossils, English history, romans and many more or if you got hungry, they have a coffee shop where you can just sit and relax. It follows with a gift shop as you can buy mini fossils and rocks and if your children gets bored, you can have an activity for just £1 and they gets a treat at the end. Truly recommend this museum as it contains many stories about history.

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 backVisited on
