What a fantastic place. Visited for one of their open days and it was a great experience. So much to see. The staff were brilliant, very proud of their collection and so obviously want you to love it as well. The experts had so much time for you and again are loving sharing their knowledge. If, like me, you are not a big fan of interactive museum displays, this is the place for you. And they had cake!

This is a fascinating place to visit. It contains such an eclectic collection ranging from various vehicles to sculptures. Items are displayed in a most random basis but this seems to make the visit so much more interesting. I was there for over 2 hours and will certainly pay another visit before too long.

We had an excellent afternoon at the Museum Collection Centre's annual free open day. We got to hold some 500,000 year old stone tools that were used for cutting up meat. We also went in a pop up planetarium. The collection is also open once a month on a Friday when you can view the main halls. I thoroughly recommend if you are fascinated by all sorts of old stuff.
