We went here and I wasn't interested and didn't want to go but  after entering the museum I was blown away. I loved this place and was amazed. I want to bring visitors here as well as return myself. The collection is so interesting and expansive. The jugs are more like pitchers than jugs but they are all made to look like different people from history. people from the arts, science, politics, tv, movies. I thought it was a wonderful collection. Well worth a visit. We spent about 20 mins. here but I want to go back and spend an hour or more. I think you would see something different every time you visit.

Super weird.  Not a must do, but if you are nearby and looking to kill time  it is interesting enough to keep you occupied for 20 minutes.

Truly delightful! A gem of a museum. A surprisingly vast collection of Toby jugs, well curated and attractively showcased. The docent was pleasant and knowledgeable. We went as a multigenerational party of 12, and the kids were just as fascinated as the adults. We spent about an hour there and had good fun spotting eclectic and famous characters. Well worth the experience.

Jugs, not mugs, for enjoying a pot "philled" with booze, but you can only look. See the history of the world in 8000 jugs and counting...
