Museums in Dorchester

Dorchester is lucky to have many different museums to visit, all dotted close to the Town Centre.

At the top of town there is The Keep Military Museum which is housed in a spectacular old Keep and easy to spot as you arrive in Dorchester from the West.

Further down the main road on the left is the Dorset County Museum, again, housed in another beautiful building.

From there, crossing the road there are signposts to some of the other museums such as the Teddy Bear Museum, the Dinosaur Museum, the Terracotta Warriors and the Tutankhamun Exhibition.

Make sure you get to visit as many as you can during your stay with us.

Originally a gatehouse for the Depot Barracks of the Dorsetshire Regiment and it also served as the County Armoury.
