This summer, families across Somerset are invited to explore a world of creativity, science, history and hands-on fun at the county’s museums. From robot dogs and Viking invasions to clay modelling and encounters with real-life creatures, the South West Heritage Trust is offering an inspiring programme of exhibitions and activities at sites in Taunton, Glastonbury and Bridgwater. 
Museums’ Manager, Susie Simmons, said: “Running throughout the school holidays, these family-friendly events promise unforgettable experiences that bring the past—and the imagination—to life.”
A new family-friendly exhibition opens at The Museum of Somerset from July 22. ‘Wow! Amazing Science in Children’s Books’ brings together vibrant artwork and surprising facts to investigate the wonders of the world.
Visitors can journey from outer space to deepest underground, and into the workings of the human body, through the creations of artists including Oliver Jeffers, David Macauley, Marcia Williams and Yuval Zommer.
Themed drop-in activities take place each week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday including science shows, a cardboard buffet art installation, Bugfest crazy creatures and a robot dog!
The Museum of Somerset is open Tuesday to Saturday 10am – 5pm. Exhibition and activities supported by Events of Wonder and Arts Council England.
