This gem of a museum is well worth a visit; a small quality collection of furniture that perfectly illustrates material culture. The pieces deserve to be handled and examined - and you can! The most immersive museum I have ever visited - where visitors are encouraged to touch, handle and open drawers, cupboards and sideboards, giving them the tactile joy of what it would feel like to use these iconic objects; a flavour of the eras in which they were constructed. A pearl of a place, beautifully displayed and exhibited.…

This museum was one of the reasons we had travelled to Broadway and we were not disappointed - furthermore, unlike many of its sister establishments, you are actively encouraged to open draws, look a blue prints and touch many of the exhibits. Perfect if your interested in seeing how this were made from first principles. Well worth a visit.…

We were lucky enough to have a guided tour by the curator who bought the place alive with her extensive knowledge and enthusiasm for the collection. Of interest to anyone in the art and design world or people exploring the ar5s and craft influences in the region.…

The museum traces his career, which spanned several decades. It starts with his early work & progresses to his later work. Examples of his different styles fill the museum. It is a very interesting museum, & worth a stop.…
