The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions and events throughout the year, making it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, geology, and the arts.
On my doorstep and it's taken me far too long to visit! Really fascinating collection and insight into Bromsgrove's past. Lovely to be accompanied on our tour by Mr Norton himself who gave us lots of interesting tales. Well worth the visit.
Walked past the museum today with my 9 year old son, which we've done many times but today he asked to go in. We've never gone in before as it looks so small from the outside but it's really not. So many interesting things to see. It was a really fun afternoon. The volunteers there were really lovely and so great with my son. He had a quiz sheet to find a selection of items which kept him entertained for a good hour. Definitely worth a visit!!
We visited here today to pass an afternoon on a rainy day and it was fantastic! It is much bigger inside than it looks on the outside with loads of interesting things to see inside. Great care has been taken to curate the museum in a way that is interesting with real shop fronts from Bromsgrove. We had the absolute pleasure of meeting Dennis himself and not only that he walked round with us picking out bits and pieces to show us, things he thought my Dad (64) would be interested in and also things for my daughters (10, 7), he was absolutely lovely. Overall a fantastic unexpected gem that is definitely worth a visit.
