Very modern museum inside a hall from the 1200s where many major historical events have taken place. The style is to focus on fewer outstanding pieces in a thematic manner. The museum has a number of world class items that justify this approach. Has a slightly expensive cafe and regular exhibitions. The current international photography one is excellent, despite the relentlessly woke burblings on the descriptions. Very rarely do they add anything to the striking visual images, images that stand up for themselves and explain themselves well anyway.

Extensive museum with a wide range of exhibits and plenty of context, audiovisual displays, art installations etc.

Complete with very good cafe with courtyard seating, including shade umbrellas and some under cover.

Fascinating to learn history from the Somerset viewpoint. Well set out and loved the military section especially plus all the help given to us along the way Please make sure to visit when next in Taunton

Well-structured museum. In a castle, which is always a nice bonus.

It's good for Taunton. I wasn't expecting much as Taunton is quite a small town but it has romans, dinosaurs and a bit on the death penalty as well as a cafe and people in dress.

Worth a trip if you're in the area.

Set out lovely, and the union Jack display in the military museum was an original way of showing the story through the ages.

Staff have set up several children friendly exhibitions and tasks. My 3 and 5 year old spent a great morning doing a trail. The exhibits are clear and well displayed, with interest for all ages.
The pleiosaur is a treat.
I have visited several art exhibitions and also an evening lecture on traditional (pre-Victorian) Christmas carols. Everything is low key but well done.

Lovely experience visiting the museum. We, my husband and I, visited the place early during the week so we had the place all to ourselves.
