Interest from prehistoric to modern times in Somerset. Well laid out,accessible, very interesting and informative. Well worth 2-3 hour visit. Suits all ages.

I went specifically for the Roger Fry art exhibition which is on until July 2026. There is an entry fee for this so I purchased tickets online (£4 instead of £5) Admission to the actual museum is by donation - suggested £5. The Roger Fry exhibition was excellent. Not an artist I was aware of but I very much enjoyed what was on offer. Having never been to the museum before (despite having lived in Somerset for 10 years now) I did have a look around and had a wonderful and thoroughly enjoyable experience. Highlights were the magnificent Cheddar Broach and the very impressive and complete High Ham Roman Mosaic. I will visit again as I had to leave to ensure I didn't overrun my Car Park time.

A great day out, lots to see and do. Always visit for half term activities which are always very well thought out and fun for the little ones, always very popular though, can be very busy! Cafe was full this time so had to eat elsewhere. The gift shop layout is somewhat awkward running alongside the tills, busy area, every time i visit i can never browse with the amount of people hanging around in the area, queueing etc.

A good museum in the castle. Plenty of exhibits. Well designed galleries and a friendly face on arrival. Nice cafe with tables in & out. One of the best attractions in Taunton, and: it's free! ( Donations welcomed )

We went into the museum simply to get out of the rain and ended up staying about three hours. The displays were extremely interesting and very professional and informative in presentation. Entrance price was by donation. I would highly recommend this hidden gem if you are in the Taunton area.
