Small but nice museum to visit, worthing to buy tickets online. It's good to visit with children as they can follow history steps through the rooms. Shop and toilets available.

An amazing collection of artefacts and information from prehistory to the present. It's one of those places that doesn't look that big from the outside, but then you spend three hours wandering through it. Very straightforward descriptions of what's on display, how and where it was found, and what it was likely used for. It would be a great place to start a trip to see Avebury and the associated and surrounding man-made features. We were planning to take a walk around there anyway, and now I feel like we'll have a much better feel for what we're looking at and its historical significance. There are also a number of enjoyable activities for children (and my husband) to try. Nice folks working there as well, who were quite happy to answer my questions. Also a nice gift shop with lots of books about the subjects discussed in the exhibits, and the surrounding area. Recommended!

We had a fabulous visit here this weekend, spending nearly 2 hours in the various rooms. The museum seems to be transitioning from an old style collection, where each cabinet is just a list of artefacts with detailed descriptions to a more interactive and wider ranging display. Some areas we just skimmed through but overall it was a fascinating history of the county and how it fitted in to the wider world. There were some more modern displays that helped a wider age range understand and appreciate the local history such as the ‘smells of wiltshire’ boxes. Definitely worth the entrance fee for a pleasant and unhurried way to improve awareness of our local history and environment.

First visit. Kids under 16 are free. Adults are £7.50 which I thought was a bit expensive for the size of the place.Good exhibits of local history set on different levels.Toilets and lift/disabled access.

Absolutely brilliant muesem, didn't think it would be that good? But was pleasantly surprised! And my kids aged 8 and 10 loved it! Fantastic Collection of prehistoric artifacts and loads of information, really helpful friendly staff aswell, will definitely be visiting again, highly recommended, will be visiting again soon 😀
