موزه نظامی Keep

Wonderful place to learn about
Devon/Dorset, England, military regiments & their history. It can be helpful in locating family ancestors.

On a recent trip to Dorset, my eldest son and I decided to visit the keep one afternoon when the weather was dismal.

We spent a good few hours exploring the exhibitions which were very informative and interesting.

There are loads of mannequins dressed in period clothes and uniforms, all of which added to the realism.

I would highly recommend it.

Really great museum with great friendly staff. Some fantastic displays on multiple levels all about the Dorset regiments. I'm biased as I really like uniforms but I love the uniforms with all the relative props from the era, such a great way to display the history.
It's over 5 floors and short of the battlements with great views across Dorchester, every floors packed.
I especially loved the gift shop as it wasn't extortionate like some museums so it's affordable to give the kids a reward. There's also some great interactive displays from handling real deactivated guns, battle table with soldiers, brass rubbing and colouring.
Love this museum! Well done

Great displays well set out worth a visit nice to see child friendly areas

As a former soldier, I found The Keep interesting but a bit dull. Not much for children. Best bit was the roof view.

Superb Military Museum, hundreds of interesting artefacts. Really well laid out, covering mainly Dorset and Devon regiments in all their theatre's of war. Highly recommend a visit and the views from the roof are excellent. Good value for money, a nice little shop and free parking. We went midweek, no queues, no problem seeing all the exhibits.

Excellent displays and brilliant view of Dorchester 10/10 definitely will be coming back again.
