1846 to today ✨

Situated in the heart of Dorchester’s town centre, Dorset Museum opened in 1846.

The Museum was set up by William Barnes, Charles W Bingham and Henry Moule to protect threatened local archaeological sites and natural history. Now we look after and home an incredible four million objects, spanning over 250 million years of Dorset’s history.

In May 2021, the Museum reopened after the Tomorrow’s Museum for Dorset project, with a dramatic extension, state-of-the-art collections store, four new galleries and a Learning Centre.

In October 2021, Dorset Museum held it's first ever wedding and we are so fortunate to have witness many couples say 'I do' in the 18 months since.

Looking forward to see where the next 18 months takes us💒
