Not A Normal Review
May 2022
This a slightly different review from the norm....but despite the embaressing nature,I would like to share..We were returning along the canal path and passing through the grounds of the Museum,when the dreaded IBS episode happened.Those of you who have the misfortune to suffer from this debillitating complaint will understand.
My grateful and heartfelt thanks to receptionist Hannah,she was kind and understanding,seeing to my needs without fuss.I was so humiliated but her empathy and manner lightened a horrible time ......so Hannah thankyou once again

TABLES TO CLOSE TOGETHER
May 2022 • Couples
Unfortunately the outside seating arrangements outside of the cafe has put the tables too close together,with notes on tables advising that they must not be moved,last year they were down the side and on the grass which was much better

Outside better than inside
Sep 2021
The outside of this is pretty and features in bridgerton (and is free to see) but the inside I found boring. Lots of art and random artifacts which sparked nothing inside me. Staff were friendly though

Small and interesting museum with great café
Mar 2022
Small and interesting museum with good range of temporary exhibitions eg March/April 2022 Tudor Portraits. A nice café with indoor and outdoor seating s worth a visit for coffee or lunch.

Wondrous, fascinating, love it.

Always good - interesting special exhibitions, plus a wealth of other stuff - we find something fascinating everytime we go back (who knew that Warminster was once a centre for the silver trade?). Hugely recomended.

I thought this was a great museum. The temporary exhibitions were fine, but it was the permanent display of holburnes collections that was my favourite. Lots of interesting objects, especially lots of miniature things, and the write ups were interesting. Drawers full of additional objects at shin height were great too. All the workers (volunteers?) were friendly and approachable. And the shop was gorgeous too. I would visit again.

Attractive building
Jan 2022 • Friends
The building is attractive and maybe worth a look in itself. The staff were friendly and helpful. I’m not sure that the contents of the museum were very diverting but we enjoyed our visit well enough anyway.

A fascinating museum
Jan 2022
Lovely museum full of great paintings, china,exquisite miniatures and fascinating curios such ancient passports and embroidery. The best part of the museum are the people,especially the wonderful lady in one of the galleries who not only told my daughter in greater detail what she was viewing but charmingly took charge of her heavy ruck sack , so she could go around unencumbered.There is a great cafe , very friendly, overlooking the gardens and a delightfully staffed shop. We had a fabulous time.

Interesting Museum and Especially the Rosetti Exhibition

Well laid out Museum and plenty to see. A number of very good paintings by Constable and an excellent picture by Stubbs.

Town museum
Nov 2021
Went to see the Rosetti exhibition and loved it. Nicely laid out and well interpreted. A little on the pricey side for an art gallery - but great to go into the jane Austen feel of the house.
