Wonderful and very accessible museum

The Museum of the Home has series of period rooms, temporary exhibitions and charming gardens. It is set in historic alms houses but has good disabled, step free access. On this visit we attended a pomander making workshop which was hosted jointly by the Museum of the Home and The Old Operating Theatre Museum and Herb Garret museum. Afterwards we spent time relaxing in the gardens. On this visit we did not explore the main museum. It is a lovely place to visit and utterly fascinating. Their events are special and creative. There is something for all age groups.
