Here are some very interesting museums to visit during your holidays in Dorset.

Dinosaur Museum

Take your children along for a visit to the interesting Dinosaur Museum, located at Icen Way in Dorchester, merely a short drive away from the comfortable Dorset holiday cottages. This award-winning dinosaur museum exhibits actual fossils, dinosaur skeletons as well as life-size replicas of dinosaurs. Making this educational trip even more exciting are the multimedia videos and interactive computer displays. It's no wonder then that this museum has been voted more than once for being one of Britain's Top Ten Hands-on Museums. Another interesting fact about this museum is that it was established way back in 1984, and has since become a very popular attraction besides Dorset's heritage-categorized Jurassic Coast. The admission fee for children is 5.50, while adults and senior citizens pay 6.99 and 5.99 respectively. The Dinosaur Museum is open throughout the year including the weekend, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is however, closed from the 13th to 26th December. Be sure to visit this museum during your Dorset holidays.

Tutankhamen Exhibition

Instead of travelling all the way to Egypt to learn about the mysteries of the pyramids and tombs, you can do the same at Dorset's very own Tutankhamen Exhibition. This museum is located at High West Street in Dorchester, just a short drive away from the upscale Dorset holiday cottages. You and your family or group of friends will get to see amazingly real recreations of Egypt's Tutankhamen's tomb and mummies. Not only will you be able to see the mysterious Ancient Treasures of Egypt, but also get a chance to hear and smell everything just like the real thing. You will also love the ante-chamber and the burial chamber, taking you back in time to the days of the mysterious Egyptians. The Tutankhamen Exhibition remains open throughout the year from 9:30 to 5 p.m. However, during the months of November to March, the museum is open only on the weekends. It is also closed on December 24th, 25th and 26th every year. The Tutankhamen Museum is a must-visit for people of all ages during their holidays in Dorset.
