Bruton Museum aims to tell the story of the Saxon town of Bruton in Somerset, what was here before the town and what came after its medieval heyday as an important ecclesiastical centre. Spectacular fossils, masonry from the site of Bruton Abbey, the unique sculptures of WWII German refugee, Ernst Blensdorf, and the writing desk used by the American writer John Steinbeck, who lived in Bruton in 1959, are among its many highlights.

We also represent our community in our changing display CASESPACE, where we show contemporary art and collections.
