Our Curators are constantly developing new projects and themes including exhibitions and outreach sessions.

Museum Development Officers (MDO) provide high quality professional sector support and advice to help museums in their area. They can support museums across all aspects of their operations including collections and business management, workforce, governance and funding. They also support museums to develop realistic approaches to learning and community engagement, partnership working, audience development and sustainability.
We have specialist staff in:
• Archaeology
• Geology
• Natural history
• Social history
• Textiles
As well as the material on display in our museums, we hold extensive reserve collections. These are held at the Somerset Heritage Centre in Taunton.
