Not as much information available as I thought there would have been. The lovely lady that works there pointed us in the direction of another place near by that she believed would also of be of interest to us but we called them to double check for availability due to covid but they weren't showing anything. Such a shame. We were hoping to find out more about jellalabad barracks during the second world war. With all that history in Taunton I thought more of it would have been available in the museum. If anyone else knows where we can go to find out some information, please let me no.

Fascinating, enlightening and educational! Somerset certainly has an extraordinary (and long) history! Visiting the museum was a truly enjoyable experience.

I've never heard of this museum until I was passing through, but it was quite a surprise. Free entry, although donations are welcome. Museum covers Somerset from prehistory, until the 20th century. The Monmouth rebellion was quite interesting, as it was a local event. They had an exhibit from a Somerset artist, whose work was good, although I'm not one for art. I found the history of the Somerset regiment and their predecessors, one the best I've seen.

So so as far as museums go. Stone carvings to last you a lifetime. One small area of Somerset Light Infantry. Mostly full of uniforms. would have liked to have seen weapons through the ages. Cafe was expensive and when asked if we could have some more hot water she replied "we don't do refills".
