Wonderful place to visit. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The museum is accessible, they have lifts throughout making it easy to enjoy. They have a free audio tour which has two options, one more adult orientated "documentary" style audio guides and one more child friendly character based audio tour.

The museum is well laid out, with fascinating artefacts and clear explanations, and...
