Great museum. I especially enjoyed the Sherlock exhibit, if you have the time, it's defintely worth checking out. Even if you only get to see the museum.

Friendly staff. Permanent exhibition is fabulous. Bring any kid there to see the world through May's collection. A must!

While we have always enjoyed the arboretum which is lovely, today we went to the museum, and my review is directly solely at the museum manager. Samantha was abrasive, dismissive and profoundly unaccommodating, we will NOT be returning to the museum because that woman is so unprofessional and unkind.
