The first museum in mu entire life which I really enjoyed and I am 55. Despite it being the school holidays and 29th of December the place was not overcrowded so the attendance management works perfect. Highly recommended.

The Museum is lovely I also loved the Hidden London exhibition I probably have to come back a few more times to see everything. It was a real pleasure. 10 out of 10 experience.

Fantastic 4 hours with 7 year old and 4 year old. Museum is so well thought out with stampers to help encourage kids round the museum and explore the fantastic space and exhibits. Staff went above and beyond to make sure things were explained at a level my girls could understand and enhance the experience. Best London museum I've been to.
