The archaeological collections include the finds from the iron age site at Wookey Hole Caves. Other displays encompass original 13th century statues from the west front of the Cathedral with information on how the Cathedral was constructed to a collection of needlework samplers dating from 1742. At present an excavation in the garden of the museum is uncovering medieval and post-medieval finds, some of which date to the time when the Cathedral was being built Wells Museum is currently running an appeal to raise funds to extend the museum and provide the educational and storage facilities required to take us into the next millennium.
