I didn't even know there was a tile museum when we came to the Severn Trow to see Coalbrookdale, the Iron Bridge, Coalport, etc. When the Severn Trow is on your left, the Tile Museum is across the road on your right, so that's where we started, buying the annual 'passport' that admits you to all the museums (at a...

Nice place to go after visiting Ironbridge. The centre has a cafe which provides a nice cup of tea and some nice biscuits! There is a lift next to the reception for anyone who has difficulty climbing the stairs. Inside the museum they have exhibits showing where their tiles are used, such as a church, a bar and a section... More

If you have an interest in tiles, this is a museum for you. Kids will probably wonder what the fuss is about and get bored in next to no time. With other attrations in the area this does offer an alternative stopping off point More

We booked a 'tile making' session. My grandson already had his own design ideas but there are plenty to choose if you are not wanting your own design. We spent a lovely day making our tiles and looking around the museum. The staff were helpful and fun to work with and called us back a short time later to collect... More

This is a little delight, if you like tiles you will love the Tile Museum, not only information about the area, and the former tile factory but hundreds, if not thousands of Victorian tiles, all displayed including some wonderful reclaimed panels, from butcher shops, pubs and hospitals across the country. Lovey pleasant staff - recommended! More

I love tiles, porcelain and other china, so had to go to the factory when on my second visit to Ironbridge. It was lovely seeing all the beautifull tiles and displays and the buildings are historic in themselves. The tile displays were fantastic. Wish I could have bought some but was a traveller from NZ and it would be difficult... More

Thought tiles would be like a trip to B & Q but how wrong could I be? These were works of art, decorating whole rooms - the nursery rhyme tiles from the now demolished childrens hospital were beautiful. A must see museum and with a passport for all the Ironbridge museums excellent value. More
