I have just visited this small and very interesting little museum with my 3 grandchildren. The exhibition shows British Soldiers from Medieval to present day conflicts. The children were interested in the uniforms and weaponry displayed and filled in the answers on the quiz sheet they were given on entry, They also tried on uniforms and helmets, and posed for a photograph whilst holding the enormous rifle and attempting to carry a huge rucksack just as the soldiers did and still do have to carry on their backs.It was well worth the fee of £10.00 for a family ticket. So ''Hats off '' to the organisers .

Visited on a Saturday in December and though quiet was excellent opportunity to wander around with volunteers providing answers when we asked! New archeology extention was great and spent along time going through all the displays, great hiden gem behind the cathedral, excellent value, once you have paid the ticket gives unlimited visits for a year.

Fully expected this to be a brief and cursory visit after the Cathedral. Ended up spending quite some time there. A varied and unexpected set of displays relating to Salisbury and two changing displays which were top quality. All quite entrancing. The Wessex archaeological room is stunning. Welcoming little café,

This museum has the most marvellous newly opened archaeological wing housing some staggeringly beautiful prehistoric finds from the locality as well as collections from one of the god-fathers of archaeology, Pitt Rivers himself! These finds include the remains of the Amesbury archer an accompanying finds! Definitely child friendly and also relevant to both the amateur and professional archaeologist!

The recently opened Wessex Galleries in Salisbury Museum are truly a 'not-to-be-missed' exploration back in time to prehistoric periods. A wealth of rare archaeological finds, all beautifully and most imaginatively presented, with excellent texts and a richness of associated information. A specially appealing aspect is that many of the cases are at low level, so even the smallest people are able to see the treasures that have been discovered. Pull-out drawers - again at low levels - add further to the wonders here. If you have objections to seeing skeletons in displays then maybe these are not be for you. But their presentation is so thoughtful and respectful, that the real 'presence' of these long-ago peoples who lived in this part of Britain seems appropriate, and further enlightens this fascinating sequence of intelligent, riveting displays. No need to go to London or the larger museums, here in Salisbury they have an incomparable collection illuminating our knowledge of the lives of our ancient ancestors - much of it relevant to not-so-far-away Stonehenge too.

This is a fantastic museum with plenty of local interest displays. The new Wessex wing is stunning and worth a visit in its own right to discover more about the archeology of the area. Modern displays, well laid out with plenty of room to move around (wheelchair friendly). The rest of the museum is interesting and I was amazed at how much there was to see and how long we spent there. A welcome haven on a bitterly cold day. And cake and coffee in the cafe were good too.

Interesting well presented displays of many facets. Reasonable entrance fee and very friendly guides. Everywhere spotlessly clean. Good educational opportunity to see the way people dressed in the past and local industry. Interesting silver. Cafe very clean and good quality food. Looking forward to return visit. Return visit free within twelve months

This superb museum tucked away on a tree-lined close opposite the great west portal of one of UK's & Europe's most magnificent cathedrals was a grand experience & memorable surprise for me. Raised in Dorset but a long-term CA resident with a resident cousin there, Salisbury has become my favorite yearly touring base for convenient access to south & west coasts & London. I had somehow missed the museum in June '13 but was delighted to discover it last June & will revisit in May/June this year! I was in fact SO glued to the fascinating ancient tomb & dwelling exhibits from southern Englands Roman/Saxon past that they had to (smilingly) throw me out quite a bit after official closing time! If you possess any feel for or love of England's historic past then do GO to this excellent museum with its superbly laid-out displays! I have saved my entry ticket which is good for a year!

me and my partner visited a few days ago. We were very surprised when we entered and were amazed and fascinated the whole way around. The museum is well thought out and displays are clear. guides are helpful but will leave you to look at your own pace. there are activities to keep young children entertained and helps them get involved. we didn't have enough time to view it all but will be back!! me and my partner could spend hours in there. definitely worth a visit.

On entry,thought £8 admission was a bit steep.Once inside,realized why.So much to see,didn't do it all in one go,as I had been to Salisbury Cathedral prior,but ticket valid for 1 year.Wessex Gallery is stunning,a miniature Ashmolean Museum,which itself has a Pitt Rivers section.Lighting just perfect,no eye strain here.Exhibits well spaced out and described. I am not a great archaeological fan,but was enthralled by what was on offer.Then on to the Whistler art gallery,once again,well spaced out and informative.Next up,the Lacock cup,which is currently on loan from the British Museum,and is touring the country at select venues. Hurry though,it moves on at the end of May.A superb pieces of silverware,who needs London.This museum is up there with the best.Didn't make it upstairs,this visit,which houses a textile exhibition I understand.Will have to go back.
