This
is
one
of
my
favourite
little
museums,
with
a
great
mix
of
exhibitions
bringing
the
very
varied
history
of
Charnwood
to
life.
However
my
visit
this
time
was
especially
to
see
The
Tiger
Who
Came
To
Tea
touring
exhibition.
Which
was
delightful
and
funpacked.
A
great
mix
of
having
tea
with
a
greedy
tiger,
dressing
up
as
a
tiger,
trying
to
pin
a
tail
back
on,
puzzles,
and
reading
a
large
selection
of
Judith
Kerr's
wonderfully
engaging
books.
It
was
heartwarming
to
watch
a
few
children
(
and
one
word
perfect,
story
acting
Mum
)
totally
absorbed
by
the
giant
tiger.
For
older
fans
there
were
mounted
illustrations,
displays
and
films
showing
an
insight
on
Judith's
life
and
work.
All
of
the
staff
I
saw
or
spoke
with
were
friendly
and
helpful,
and
as
a
whole
the
museum
has
a
welcoming
atmosphere.
I
didn't
have
time
to
visit
the
cafe
but
I
did
have
a
quick
look
in
the
shop,
which,
although
small,
has
a
good
selection
of
items
for
sale.
It's
well
worth
a
visit
and
being
situated
in
the
park,
close
to
the
shops
and
car
park,
makes
it
an
ideal
place
to
while
an
odd
half
hour
or
so
away
from
the
busy
here
and
now
without
having
to
traipse
too
far.
