Excellent temporary exhibitions. Staff very helpful and museum gives a fascinating, uncluttered and well curated insightful history of this Wiltshire market town.

Interesting little museum. Free to enter. It has lots of things to do for the younger generation. This is particularly pleasing to me as it creates an interest in history which, hopefully, will continue as they grow. If you've got an hour or so to spare whilst in Chippenham pop your head round the door and explore.

Well worth a visit. A quaint and interesting museum. A lift and WC access. Good access for all. It's small and friendly. Activities for children. It has two levels. It's Free, you can buy a souvenir from the foyer. The staff are very kind and friendly. The museum is self explanatory and is full of items local to area and history. A great stop to understand local history and discover items of history. Some of the items are from further a field, some are very very old and curious.
