Visited during the Arts Festival so may have been more going on because of this - a book signing, music in the restaurant, great art exhibitions and lots more. More

If you're looking for something to do for half an hour it's not bad, but it's not really that interesting in their, some small bits and pieces but overall just a distraction more than an attraction. Wouldn't spend my time going there, worth popping in if you're next to it though. More

I was amazed at what a great place it was and how many exhibits they had! We thoroughly enjoyed the Egyptian exhibit and the fashion exhibit. It was also good to... More

Lovely open plan first Gallery with a wonderful display of chairs (don't laugh, they are really cool!), no glass and an immense feeling of space. Rather like Kelvingrove in Glasgow with linked displays covering a number of collections. We went in the Easter hols, so there were activities for kids and some hands on things for them to do in...
