This museum is more than a museum; it is an experience. Not only can you tour classrooms, from an enormous monitorial schoolroom, to a galleried classroom, to a wartime classroom, but you can also take part in lessons on certain days. Our grandchildren love dressing up in Victorian aprons or collars and enjoy trying out slates and dipping pens. The volunteers are really friendly and welcoming, and they clearly feel passionate about the museum. They all seem very knowledgable. You get a good cuppa in the cafe too!
