What Our Visitors Think
An absolutely fabulous visit [...] The staff were really friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the variety of exhibits, including crystals, bicycles, a bear (and many other creatures), a self-pouring teapot, and a rock-xylophone which my partner enjoyed playing. An array of interesting things to see, plus a lovely café. 10/10.

Took my three grandchildren today, Good Friday, to the museum for the Easter egg hunt event. What a lovely way to spend a couple of hours, such a marvelous place packed full of history and hands on fun, what a great way to learn. Thank you.

Had an absolutely wonderful time. The exhibitions were amazing [...] The World Wildlife Galley was so interesting, the museum has done a spectacular job of making thoughtful displays of the artefacts. The staff were lovely, so informative and helpful.
