About The Dorset County Museum

Today 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.
The Museum is housed in a beautiful, gothic-style building, which dates from 1884. Its diverse collections include Roman mosaics, original Thomas Hardy manuscripts 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 find out more about where they live. This web site will give you a taste of what is in the Museum, but we hope you will want to come and see it for yourself.
