Great museum - lots of information about Samuel Johnson, his family and friends. The lady on the desk was so friendly and they dealt with COVID restrictions really well. And it’s free!
For any history lover this is a great small museum which provides an interesting summary of Johnson’s life and some of it's key periods.
Visited on a Saturday afternoon, having pre booked on the website. The museum is easy to find in the centre of Lichfield. A lovely lady greeted us warmly and explained the layout of the museum. She explained...
A free attraction crammed with historical artefacts . Staff very engaging and excellent covid mesures in place . I had no idea this wonderful place existed 1
Brilliant little museum. Restricted numbers due to Covid, but all the better for that. Very enthusiastic and knowledgable man on reception and occasionally dragging punters in. Prior to our visit, all...
In my view Samuel Johnson is seldom afforded the credit he deserves. In his house in the centre of Lichfield is the brithplace of a major literary figure who compiled the first major dictionery of the...
What a delightful hour or so spent learning about this great man of literature. We were greeted by our first names having booked online and the receptionist was very helpful in answering ang questions...
The museum is located in the centre of the city and although the bookshop in one part was open the museum was closed. Can’t tell you much more except come on another day.
We were in the local area and were intrigued by this museum so decided to visit Lichfield. To say it's in central Lichfield is understatement and their website contains instructions on how to get there...
The dictionary defines a fish as: a limbless cold-blooded vertebrate animal with gills and fins living wholly in water Considering the word is in his book, you'd think they'd have one in his birthplace....
Really interesting and informative building with activities for kids and free entry. Great way to pass a voice of hours
On a visit to Lichfield Cathedral we stumbled across this wonderful small Museum. Situated in the centre of the town this Georgian house, birthplace of Samuel Johnson provided a charming and informative...
Grade 1 building from 1707 /8. Only problem has stairs to match. It has 4 floors with lots of detail and information about the rooms.
We live about 12 miles from this wonderful museum .All three grandchildren have been many times and always spot something they hadn’t seen before . You need to be a bit active to climb the staircases to...
An elegant 5-storey Georgian house in the middle of Lichfield, this munsuem will tell you a multitude of things about Johnson, his life and friends. There is a facsimile of his dictionary for you to browse...
I am fascinated by the influential people of the 18th century so I loved this little museum and spent an hour and a half in there. We received a warm welcome from a helpful member of staff and then we...
A nice little place, well-informed friendly staff and interesting exhibits. Only drawback is no toilets, which isn’t too surprising considering the age of the building, so we popped into the library instead....
Interesting - not too much to see but never the less worth visiting. Interesting to see the interior and the size of the rooms. How they ever coped with stairs!
Fascinating to learn about a man who developed the first english dictionary. Well described and historical content is good
A beautiful well kept Georgian house situated on the corner of Lichfield's Market Square where Dr. Johnson's statue and that of Boswell stands.His story is told through the rooms in the house in a very...
Probably of little interest to your average child this house/museum was fascinating for someone of literary bent! It’s on several floors so no disabled access or lift and stairs quite steep. However it’s...
This building is a bit of a challenge for tall visitors or those with mobility problems, but for me that added to its authenticity. Clambering up and down the stairs over five floors I felt I was walking...
The museum is slap bang in the centre of the city. It's free, with donations generally expected to help upkeep. Thre museum outlines the life and times of the great man, with interesting and relevant...
Here's somewhere you can go back in time that's warm and welcoming, quirky and stuffed full of fascinating features. You won't feel you have to rush, nobody will chivvy you along and you can just soak...
