Some wonderful exhibits and a realistic school room although ma'am could have been slightly more ferocious. Haven't laughed so hard for ages, a good job as it warmed me up a bit.

We (me, my husband and our 5 yr old son) visited the museum at the end of April 2012. We researched the price before we went and it said that a family price was just over £13 which seemed reasonable.
