Utterly charming museum. Very well Curated. Fascinating. Friendly staff. Set in beautiful Pinner Memorial Park. I saw the Life in a LINE exhibition which was excellent. A gem of a museum that is well worth visiting.

Yes, the museum is fairly small, but it's worth visiting if you are in the area. I'd already been here before and seen the Heath Robinson quirky drawings/paintings, etc, which form the permanent exhibition . Today I concentrated on a small (additional, temporary) art exhibition (with about twenty works, some contemporary, by various artists - and you will have your own opinions on one or two!) There was a new (2025) small model of some train carriages, which I found intriguing. In the next room (which I think is more intended for children) there was an interactive machine. Because I remembered my times tables (spoiler alert) the duck moved and I earned a sweet. (One of the helpful and friendly volunteers explained how the machine worked.) The adult ticket was (I think) £8, but don't quote me on that. By the way. if you live in the area, the museum occasionally runs art/craft courses, some for adults, some for children, but I haven't experienced these yet.

For those in the area who are curious about the history of Heath Robinson (an illustrator with an eye for satire, the absurd and the surreal) this museum comes with a high recommendation. There is a small, but very interesting museum with a chronological history and examples of his work. Adjacent to this is a small gallery which, on the day I visited, contained examples of Heath Robinson's water colours (his true passion) complimented by landscape art by other contemporary artists. In addition to the above there is very good cafe, a gift shop and easy on-site parking. It's difficult to resist the pun that: 'there is nothing Heath Robinson' about the way this delightful venue is organised and managed. Highly recommended.

We're lifelong fans of Heath Robinson and my wife has wanted to see this for a long time. Today we made a special trip, but were a bit disappointed. The museum is very small and the cafe you see in the pictures is larger. There's a nice book shop as part of it and a special exhibition as well. But doubt we would if we had known beforehand.

Brilliant little museum. w.Heath Robinson was ahead of his time. Tickets are reasonable and there is so much to discover but not too much that it overwhelms. I love the little makeshift computer-chocolate dispenser ! Model of the building is ahead of his time.
