Dorset County Museum
The Dorset County Museum tells the story of Dorset’s rich landscape and history. Visitors to the Museum can find out about local writers, history, archaeology, geology and the natural sciences in one of the Museum’s many galleries. There are also video displays, activity carts for children and an audio-guide to take you round the exhibits. These include real Roman mosaics and fossilised dinosaur footprints. And behind the scenes there is a great deal more…
The Museum is an ideal place to come if you are visiting Dorset, and a great place for local people to come and find out more about where they live.
