I just love places like this, spent most of the day just going back in time More

I love this museum and have spent many hours wandering around. Its nice to cross over the bridge into the quays later and have a bite to eat. Top tip, park in the lower centre and walk over the bridge for free parking. More

Have been a couple of times with my 2 boys, last time they were 11 & 13, lots to look at and read, which they aren't interested in doing, has a great feeling and is a lovely building but a bit too 'modern' an approach for my kids, they like to touch and be told stuff, a bit lazy I... More

The fact that it is free (£4 to park) makes it even better, with no one pushing you to buy anything too. We spent a... More
