Dorset County Museum

While Phil and Rocco went for a walk, I looked round the Dorset County Museum in Dorchester.  I was expecting a small museum in a converted hall of some sort, but it was purpose built and comprised several galleries over four floors.  The original exhibition hall is now used for events, and is a glorious space.  The floor includes two Roman mosaics.  Stunning!

There were displays about the geology, archaeology and history of Dorset.  I was particularly taken with this sculpture depicting the geological strata – with a strata of plastic rubbish at the highest, most recent level.
