About Dorset County Museum

The Dorset County Museum is situated in Dorchester, Dorset, England. Established in 1846, the exhibition hall covers the region of Dorset's history and condition. The current building was worked in 1881 on the previous site of the George Inn. The building was planned particularly to house the historical center's accumulation and is in the neo-Gothic style. The historical center incorporates data and more than 2 million relics related with paleontology e.g., Maiden Castle, topography, and characteristic science. There are video shows, movement trucks for youngsters, and a sound guide. The accumulations incorporate fossilized dinosaur impressions, Roman mosaics and unique Thomas Hardy original copies.
The exhibition hall was established in 1846, and incorporates two huge accumulations, the chronicle of Thomas Hardy's works and fossils from the Jurassic Coast. The aggregate gathering stretches out to roughly four million things. The exhibition hall is possessed by the Dorset Natural History and Archeological Society. Many things in the historical center's accumulation have been put away at the adjacent All Saint's Church. The gallery was getting roughly 45,000 guests every year in 2014, which had expanded to 47,000 guests every year in 2016. It has been granted by the Certificate of Excellence Award to the historical center for a long time in succession.
