Small museum but really nice. They also have a café downstairs and the small museum shop had some really cute stuffs. The artworks were impressive — Famine being my favourite. It was definitely worth a visit!

Great Victorian street (Lark Hill place), with original shop fronts and objects from those shops which were recovered and displayed in the museum, sounds and atmosphere to replicate the dark Victorian period in England (the staff provide a lantern to see better the objects). The house of dolls in the upper floor and some of the paintings in one of the upper gallery are also highlights of my visit. Two of the galleries were closed for set up of new exhibitions but overall very good!

Wonderful experience to visit for victoriana really great way to spend a few hours. Although the modern artists they highlight leave alot to be desired, not a patch on the original earlier art on display. Very laughable really when you put both side to side. The modern section is a great waste of space and not needed in a place where people come to emerce themselves in the history and victoriana, could definitely do with rethinking the modern artist selection of cardboard box and repetitive unskilled pictures of a club foot Other than that a great place, the library is very interesting, the victorian Street and the amazing classical art on display. Coffee and tea available in a big bright cafe overlooking peel Park. Definitely recommend a visit here
