I came here to see the Amesbury Archer and ended up spending nearly three hours in the Wessex gallery. This museum holds incredible treasures from the nearby ancient landscape, I don't understand why was it so empty (though I was also relieved I didn't need to share it with crowds). I love that the exhibition focuses not only on the incredible finds, but also places them into context, and also adds valuable information about early antiquarians who uncovered many of the objects on display. Wonderful and very helpful staff. 10/10, even though I live across the country I will probably come back at some point when the museum fully reopens.

I am delighted to share my positive experience at Salisbury Museum! As the mother of a wheelchair-using teenager, I was thrilled with the excellent accessibility they offered. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our visit was enjoyable and comfortable. My child learned so much about history and archaeology during our time there, thanks to the interactive exhibits and engaging presentations. We were truly impressed by the museum's dedication to inclusivity and the warm and welcoming atmosphere they provided for all visitors. Highly recommend!

I went to see the Sir Terry Pratchett exhibition and loved every moment of it. It is an absolute MUST for all Terry fans. It was beautiful, witty and embracing. I wanted to see the rest of the museum but due to my disabilities and the fact that I spent over 3 hours just gazing and regazing at all the Terry Pratchett gems that we wouldn't fit it all in. The staff are fabulous and I am looking forward to going back to see the rest of the museum. This is the nicest museum, with the nicest people, that I have ever been to.

An amazing place to spend a couple of hours. I visited with an 7 year old who loved finding out about all of the archaeological finds from the local area, and seeing if we could find something similar to the bits and pieces we dig up in the garden. Recently updated and expanded, the local history section was well thought out, with a children's stamp trail and audio visual displays to keep their interest. Could have stayed all day if not for time pressures.
