Dorset Museum & Art Gallery Visit

Forget the rain and winds of Winter and indulge yourself for a couple of hours at a secure, warm, dry indoor venue in the heart of Dorset at The Dorset Museum and Art Gallery in Dorchester, the County Town of Dorset.  Immerse yourself in 250 million years of natural history as the exhibits reveal the secrets of geology, landscapes, habitats, and wildlife that surround us every day.

The museum is situated right in the centre of Dorchester, (DT1 1XA / What 3 Words: snug.eggs.mats), where there are many wonderful eateries to tempt you and keep you sustained after your visit.  The train and bus stations are within walking distance of the venue and there is plenty of pay parking available nearby. 

Discover the life and works of Dorset’s famous novelist and poet Thomas Hardy and dive into key themes of his personal and professional life.  Enjoy some ‘People Watching’ in the special art exhibition in partnership with The Ingram Collection.  Relax in a beautiful gallery full of the Museum’s superb collections of paintings, sculptures, prints, drawings, textiles, and fine and decorative art.  Marvel at the historic Victorian Hall as well as the modern Acheson’s Atrium adorned by Roman mosaics on the walls and floors of these spaces.  This is an amazing opportunity to enjoy a private viewing of the museum NAKED.  A ticket entitles you to a glass of wine or other beverage on arrival; communal changing facilities; a locker for clothes and other personal possessions and entry to all the galleries.  You will also be able to donate your small change, or more, to The British Heart Foundation to help them find new treatments and cures for heart disease, the biggest ‘killer’ in the UK.
