The Museum of Somerset (aka Taunton Museum) is a fabulous place to visit. As well as the museum itself there's a cafe with seating inside and outside and easily accessible disabled toilet. The museum itself is divided up into sections covering many aspects of Somerset history from Pre-historic times (don't forget to check out the plesiosaur in the floor) to recent era. Of particular note are a replica of King Alfred's jewel, the only surviving bronze age spear head mold and the Frome Hoard. The Military museum is also housed here highlighting Somersets rich military history. You can't talk about Somerset without mentioning the pitchfork rebellion and subsequent bloody assizes so visitors will be pleased to know that the museum has a section dedicated to those events. The museum has plenty of activities for children dotted around including a colouring area well stocked with crayons and colouring pencils.
It's well worth a visit and is free, although voluntary donations are encouraged.
The staff are all friendly too!

What a lovely building and exhibitions. Never been here before as we live too far away, but well worth a visit. We came for the Doris Hatt (the artist) exhibition. The staff and contributors have done an excellent job. We also had a look at the rocks & fossils, well displayed and informative.

We spent a lovely afternoon in the museum and marvelled again at the range of exhibits and the excellent and imaginative displays. And it wasn't even a rainy day!
