What visitors say
Had been meaning to visit this museum for a while and had the opportunity for a short visit on our way home. Well worth the stop. Things to consider - when you buy your ticket, make sure that you say that you’ll be coming back again as the ticket allows you to come back again, anytime within the year at no extra cost. The museum if over two floors and there’s a free audio tour. I would have given the museum five stars however I felt that the audio tour was quite confusing and the numbers were difficult to find. That said, it was well informed and there was lots to see and learn. All in all an excellent day out.

My arts society group visited in November. Our coach was able to park right outside and we were warmly greeted on arrival. After tea and biscuits we had an excellent talk by Colin Millett, a collector of Royal Worcester porcelain. He gave a brief history of the industry in Worcester and brought to life the characters and rivalries of those who worked there. We then took our time to visit the museum which was well laid out and illuminated the development of Royal Worcester porcelain. The displays were excellent and there were many beautiful pieces to be enjoyed. Personally I was never very interested in porcelain but came away with new insights and enthusiasm for the subject. I will definitely visit again and would recommend the museum for group and individual visits.

A thoroughly pleasing experience. Excellent staff, wonderfully welcoming. Could spend upwards of 2-3 hours wandering through a superb display of the glory years of Worcester porcelain. Very good range in the shop. Would recommend even to those without a previous interest in such a subject.
