This museum exceeded my expectations. The exhibits demonstrate a lot of effort to recreate the events and artifacts. Very well organized and presented. More

I have been to the Tutankhamun Exhibition on many occaisions and I always see something new when I go. My Wife is doing an Egyptology Degree and Manchester Uni and she is always comparing factual notes and quotes, and its a treat to visit here time and time again. I have no doubt that if you have not been to... More

This is not a place for under 8's. They will be very bored. You really need to be interested in Egyptology to enjoy this. I would not have made the effort to go If my Mum wasn't into it and had we not been to Monkey World the day before so therefore in the area. The entrance price is very... More

We went to the Exhibition on our trip away recently. The leaflet made it look really inviting. The parking in Dorchester is always pay at the meter, and we had to park on the road, but realised we didnt have any change with us. We were able to pay via mobile phone which I thought was a good idea. In... More

My daughter was so looking forward to going here. We decided to give her a treat. The three of us went in and even though I thought the entrance fee was expensive I thought what the hell we are here now so we paid it. £30 for the three of us. We went in, it was 2 tiny rooms then... More

Visited on a very wet (summers) day in Dorchester and said to my hubby that I fancied looking at the exhibition. The entry prices were a bit steep but I felt like treating myself so popped into the 'shop' entrance to the exhibition only to be ignored for about 10 minutes by the lady behind the counter whilst she first...

Waste of money. Tiny, tacky. Hasn't changed since I went there as a 10 year old 17 years ago. Pointless. More

Gold painted replicas in poorly lit, cold rooms. Took our five year old and whilst you get a £2 discount for children there was very little of interest for him. Made the further mistake of going to the "Mummy display" round the corner. A bare room with partially wrapped models of decaying corpses, not suitable for a five year old... More

We went as a family because my 8 year old is studying Egypt at school. For this purpose it was great. The lady gave him a quiz sheet on the way in which he thoroughly enjoyed. Yes there is lots of information to read but this kept dad entertained. The prices were I think a little expensive, but the place... More
