Checked the opening times on the Website before I left home. All good. Got to the museum only to find a sign stuck to the door stating "We are a small team of volunteers and sometimes we cannot open the museum as planned." Very disappointing. A waste of time and Petrol.

So nice to meet and speak to local volunteers who are proud of their town. Learned about the Guinea Pigs.

It's a really interesting museum worth a visit. It's close to high street and it's free. A good part of the exhibition is about Sir Archibald McIndoe, the Guinea Pig Club. This club was formed by members of the RAF in World War II, whose burns were treated at the Queen Victoria Hospital by pioneering surgeon.

For Mums with children very interesting & interactive visit to local museum. A great place to be educated about East-Grinstead through the years (peaty there are only one museum, we love to go to the museums, as the result we have been hear many times). The war & the burns patients "guinea pig club". What is great I found this year - for half-term they organize an amazing activities for kids and history walk. Free entrance no parking but car parks very near.

A small museum showing local history and Mc Indoe and his Guinea pigs. A must for plastic surgeons, the exhibit is small. Don’t miss the amc Indoe statue in town
