First visit, what a little gem, so much to see, well worth a visit, I will certainly go again

It's free, well arranged and informative for the kids. Only thing I notice there was a room that was empty though.

A really lovely, slightly quaint old school museum and gallery in a surprisingly lovely part of Warrington, handy for the theatre and some nice eateries. I and a colleague brought seven adults with severe learning disabilities to see work by the artist Val Hunt; we couldn't have been greeted any more warmly by the friendly staff who seemed well-informed about the exhibition and the museum in general. We had a lovely experience and would one hundred percent hurry back! The work was incredible too.

Wonderful visit to Warrington Museum, lovely mix of old and new style exhibitions. Staff were available, friendly and polite. Sadly no cafe facilities, Id have quite happily bought a coffee and a cake at the end of our visit. The museum is centrally located with plenty of pay for parking available near by.

Went to see wake me up before you Dodo exhibition, it's was excellent. It's not bad for a small museum, although could do with updating some of the descriptions of artifacts because some have no explanation and maybe open more during the holidays. Definitely worth a visit for all of the family.

In the same building as the library, this small museum is still packed with history and a range of art. A place you must visit if Warrington is new to you. It reveals much about the history of Warrington and its importance in history. The exhibits are well displayed and information about many of them make the history clear. More recent artwork is mixed with the older artwork which some will like. Some of the new artwork is given very much prominence and well displayed. One piece of recent art in particular, an upside down tree, hangs above the minerals display - a point we raised with a staff member as to whether or not there would be more symbolism if the minerals were below the roots rather than the branches. However, the context is for the artist to decide. The historical artifacts are grouped in such a way as to make the history clear, and some of the more recent displays are nicely arranged to bring back memories for different age groups. The staff seem to be typical of Warrington in that they are friendly and polite. A museum shop (2 cabinets) allow you to purchase some items to remember your visit.
