The most spectacular military museum in the South literally cannot be missed as you come up High West Street, Dorchester.
What makes this museum so special is that until 1958 the Dorset Regiment’s Depot and Barracks were in active use so the building itself is living history.
The museum features computer and digital presentation, realistic battle environments, together with exhibitions and the tales of courage, humour and sacrifice spread over 300 years. A vast array of campaigns is represented and put into a historical context in the video introduction in the bunker.
- Napoleonic Wars
- Boer War
- World War 1
- World War 11
- Falklands, Iraq
- Modern day
