Well worth the visit. My second visit and every bit interesting as my first visit three years ago. Perfect for children aged 8-12. Free entry.

We discovered this hidden gem when out of town visitors came and we were looking for somewhere to take them. One is a nurse. The tour by the museum curator was so interesting and we learned things we never knew about Worcester, the history of the British Medical Association and early forms of medicine.
