Friends of Somerset County Museum
Who we are
Friends of Somerset County Museum is a charity founded with the object of supporting the Somerset County Museum in the advancement of its aims and policies.
Friends are involved in helping to increase the collection of artefacts, pooling individual skills of members and assisting with voluntary help by supporting and co-ordinating research, raising the profile of the County Museum , raising funds for special projects and improving access to the collections.
The St. James’ Almshouse is run by the Friends as a reconstruction of a 17th century interior open to the public on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday throughout the summer.
The Friends help conserve, research and exhibit the costume collections of the County Museums Service.
Support is also given with the educational programme for schools visiting the museum.
This includes the Tudors and Roman Somerset.
