Lovely little local museum with a fascinating collection that's particularly good on early-human life in Wiltshire. Also has periodic (paid for) exhibitions, sometimes nationally significant. Recommended.

This is a bit of a tardis of a museum with covid measures that are very good. The exhibition of items from pre-history to more modern day items, there are artifacts from Stonehenge including gold, tools weapons and everyday items. Well worth a visit if nearby.Entry fees with concessions and children free

Much more better Museum than the one in situ at Avebury, and no comparison with the tourist trap that Stonehenge nowadays is.Thank you very much to the lady on duty today at 11.30.Ah! 50% off for English Heritage members

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.

For a local museum to be this good is fabulous. Of course the Stonehenge Gold is an attraction that adds status to the museum's reputation, but even without that, it offers a fascinating account of local history. For those of us who didn't learn much in history lessons at school, this museum is the ideal place to visit, as it puts into context both the local and the wider history of Britain throughout the millennia. Great displays, very thoughtfully laid out, and very helpful staff. (We were invited to join an organised tour for primary school teachers by the chap leading them round the museum, which was a fbulous piece of serendipity.)

First visit. Kids under 16 are free. Adults are £7.50 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.

A really interest museum packed full of history. This is our second family visit and love the place. The screens and interactive displays weren't on, sadly but there were still lots of hands-on activities for the children.
