This place is a marvel. We learned a lot thanks to the volunteers who explained the machines to us and showed them working. A great place for any intelligent person.

Incredible museum in Nottingham, rich of gems from the industrial history of the city. Very interesting and super affordable price for what they offer. It hosts a huge steam engine which is still operating - they demonstrate the functionality every last Sunday of the month.

I highly recommend a visit to this little gem of a museum, there is so much interesting stuff and the history behind it too, suitable for a quick whip round or get into detail and read all the info. The volunteers we met were engaging, chatty, knowledgable and friendly, could not do enough for us. It’s clear so much love and attention has been poured into this place over decades by so many volunteers. So important to maintain our shared history in this way. Price very reasonable. They also have a famous black cat that is a right cutie - we found him in the wood workshop.

We weren't holding out much hope for this museum as the entrance price was so cheap, but it is absolutely wonderful. The staff are so knowledgeable about all of the Nottingham brands on show, and are happy to answer any questions. We particularly enjoyed the lace making section and the gentleman who explained everything was just wonderful. You do have to pay for parking which was £6 for the whole day, but this gives you access to Wollaton Park too so very easy to spend a whole day out
