We went in when it was pouring with rain and hit upon an excellent photography exhibition that really should have been in a city gallery. The museum was small but very interesting with a helpful assistant who recommended other interesting places to see in the town. Thoroughly enjoyed learning about Peter Cushing the actor.

It had a variety of exhibits so you couldn't get bored. There was even a sculpture gallery at the back which was a bonus. Enjoyed the Peter Cushing exhibit best. As someone has already said, 'there's something for everyone'.

Enjoyable, informative... More
