I hadn't been here for over 15 years. I liked the old museum and it was very easy to navigate. Although the new museum layout is bright and modern it's not so easy to navigate. There are a few footprints laid but nowhere near enough, and the new military museum was closed which was a shame. Display descriptions being down near the floor make them unreadable but the artistry of the displays is very good.

This is an excellent museum. Well arranged with brief descriptions that are informative for each exhibit. Some real gems including an amazing mosaic and a number of hoards of coins. A personal favourite was a bronze age toy axe. All Somerset based as well and free to enter - the suggested donation is £3. Booked in advance as suggested and they apologised for being busy but there were no ques and it didn't feel crowded

We went to the museum today as we were saving it for a rainy day when the great outdoors on Exmoor was not quite so inviting. The staff were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable on a wide range of history. The exhibits were fascinating and cannot believe we had not visited before. Coupled with that was a superb cup of coffee half way round. The visit gave us a great thirst for more local knowledge and we would definitely recommend it to others.

Very good. We liked the kids activities (puzzles, fancy dress & colouring). Thank you.

We also liked the cafe. The coffee was good and my daughter enjoyed her ice cream.
