Award-winning Museum telling Wiltshire's Story. Displays feature nationally important collections including Gold from the Time of Stonehenge and Britain's best Bronze Age archaeology. The Museum is described by visitors as family-friendly with lots for children to see and do. New Environment Gallery features dinosaurs and the Ice Age. Exciting programme of special exhibitions.
Excellent museum. It's quite larger than it appears, and goes into great detail of the history of the area. There are bits to hold the interest of little ones, as well. Absolutely worth a peek.
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 PS7.50 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.
Visited the museum with my two grandsons during half term. They loved it, there are plenty of interactive things for them to do. The layout is easy to follow with some very interesting exhibits.
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
Very well laid out. Great exhibits, great for the whole family. Contains mock ups, Gold, burials, weapons, & a lot of local History. Highly recommended.
