Museum of the home, showing how the way we live has changed over the years all in a beautiful row of almshouses, and it's free.
fascinating museum od domestic life in an old alms house. Easy to get there by bus
Cosy free museum that has a coffee shop restaurant that looks onto the garden. In the summer there is an open herb garden. It displays character homes and has local artists working there too!
While a museum specialising in the decorative interior of homes throughout the ages might not sound immediately interesting, it would be a waste to dismiss this beautiful museum without giving it a try.
