Dorset Museum and Art Gallery wins TripAdvisor award

The Dorchester attraction ranks in the top 10 per cent of listings worldwide on the travel guidance platform.

This honour is based on reviews from visitors who have shared their experiences on the Tripadvisor website over the past year.

Claire Dixon, director of Dorset Museum and Art Gallery, said: “We are delighted to be included among travellers’ favourites this year.

“This recognition is a reflection of the incredible dedication of our entire team—from our curators and front-of-house staff to our volunteers—who work tirelessly to create a meaningful and welcoming experience for every visitor.

“Highlights like our current Jane Austen: Down To The Sea exhibition continue to draw new and returning audiences, and we’re thrilled that so many have taken the time to share their positive experiences online.”

Kristen Dalton, president of Tripadvisor, also expressed her congratulations, saying: “Ranking among the top percentage of businesses globally means you have made such a memorable impact on your visitors that many of them took time to go online and leave a glowing review about their experience.

“We hope this recognition continues to drive business to you in 2025 and beyond.”
