Dorset County Museum
This is, in effect, the Museum of Dorset. It features displays covering the Jurassic Coast, Thomas Hardy's study, and great galleries on archaeology, wildlife, geology and local history.
Interactive elements include film on the Roman invasion of Maiden Castle, dinosaur footprints and Roman mosaic flooring - a great day out for visitors of all ages.
