This place is like a real animal crossing "hidden gem " its beautiful inside with so much character and friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit

Popped in on a weekday when in the location on business. A lovely find. I particularly enjoyed the Coney Island photo exhibition as I have fond childhood memories from there. The building itself is unique in that the rooms are split with a second exhibition positioned on a mezzanine floor. This is a great use of space and a nice added feature. The only downside was that the sound travelled through. The staff, whilst very friendly, also spoke quite loudly and this detracted my attention a little.

A hidden gem. We've lived nearby this fantastic museum for over a decade and never visited because I had assumed it would be small. However we spent some delightful hours perusing their collections. Their botany section is fascinating. Natural history fantastic. The museum is laid out in the most captivating way. Intriguing items provoke curiosity. The museum makes full use of the building's stunning architecture becoming part of the exhibits. The mezzanine area is stunning with my daughter saying it defies gravity. Learning opportunities are plenty with access to free craft activities, lots of child focused areas intermingled with the museum's journey, including hands on play, mini toy areas, dress up activities and tonnes of drawers to open and further explore. They even offer free hot drinks in the craft area. I adored the highly artistic way in which the older items were displayed. Beautifully laid out in very traditional cabinets. Hats off to their curator and conservators for a well thought out highly engaging museum that embraces local culture, art and history. Absolutely wonderful.

A really lovely, slightly quaint old school museum and gallery in a surprisingly lovely part of Warrington, handy for the theatre and some nice eateries. I and a colleague brought seven adults with severe learning disabilities to see work by the artist Val Hunt; we couldn't have been greeted any more warmly by the friendly staff who seemed well-informed about the exhibition and the museum in general. We had a lovely experience and would one hundred percent hurry back! The work was incredible too.
