Museum of Somerset
Latest Reviews
Great museum. Lots to see. Brilliantly displayed Roman Mosaic and displays from pre-Roman to the Monmouth Rebellion.
Don't miss the cist burial.
Also a great military museum with displays from George II's time, with some royal relics from the last time a king led forces from the front, to the present day.
The whole museum is within an old mediaeval castle but there wasn't much information about this at all, which was the only disappointment.

Absolutely a jewel in Taunton, full of information and history, free entry nice atmosphere, incredible friendly staff, you can do the tour in around one hour also if you have kids they have place for coloring and enough room for the pushchair...
A real gem in Taunton. A lot of information and history to know, entry is free and the atmosphere is very pleasant, everything is clean and tidy, the people who work are friendly, always with a smile. You can do the tour in approximately one hour and if you go as a family there are spaces for the children to eat and put together puzzles, it should be noted that there is enough space for strollers.

Warm welcome and lots of exhibits. The military history was particularly fascinating. Parking can be an issue as confusing roadsigns around the museum. Overall though a pleasant 3 hours.

Excellent collection of items giving a taste of Somerset from prehistoric times until the modern day. Huge amount to see,so give yourself time. We started from fossils and early man, spent a while with the stunning Roman mosaic and numerous items and the drifted through the Middle Ages (some great carving) but ran out of time after the Tudors and had to stop with Cromwell and The Civil War. We will return.nice xafe. Super, friendly staff and it's located in a castle. Brilliant.

Interesting place. The museum is small. But the exhibition is quite interesting. You can also take a walk around the castle itself. There is a very pleasant antique atmosphere inside. The entrance is free.
