Immerse yourself in 400 million years of history. Dinosaur fossils, a Neolithic grave and artefacts, Roman mosaics and huge amounts of coins, jewellery…… A fascinating venue featuring a changing, themed exhibition and exhibits to the present day.
Set in the heart of Taunton, The Museum of Somerset lies within the 12th century Taunton Castle and tells the county’s fascinating story from prehistoric times to the present day, using real objects, interactive games, eye-catching film projections and the words and voices of Somerset people, past and present. From an under-floor Plesiosaur, to the largest collection of Roman coins ever discovered in Britain, in a single pot, and a chilling recreation of the infamous Bloody Assizes – The Museum of Somerset is a must-see visitor attraction. It contains objects from across many of the museum’s collections, including geology, archaeology, medieval and ethnography. The museum also houses the Somerset Military Museum.

A great rainy day can be spent wondering around the castle. You may even spot the ghost of the famous Judge John Jeffreys! The museum houses a wealth of war memorabilia and is the home of the local regiments archives. Move through the age of the dinosaur, bronze and iron age and into the modern with a great coffee shop once you've finished your tour. An item particularly worth a look is a replica of the Alfred Jewel found only a few miles from the museum itself and take a walk through the rooms where the Hanging Judge himself presided. Oh and it's free to look around!
