## What visitors say

[Maddy Sutherland](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/111889395973294096834/reviews) ★★★★★

A lovely little museum in the heart of Aden park- entry is free (but there’s a donation box). There are lots of little bits and pieces in the entrance, including bits of an exhibition on the Book of Deer project. There’s a main exhibition hall detailing farming life. I’m not going to lie, the human models are uncanny and a little bit horrifying, but the content is good and informative.
