Amazing variety of exhibits, looks small outside but is huge, good job they have a good system of arrows or you are unlikely to get out, if you wanted to. Allow plenty of time a lot of detail to absorb. Recreated rooms, shops, air raid shelter, real caves, and even historic playrooms with toys through the ages. All carefully annotated. Well worth a visit but careful of opening times, currently weekends due to shortage of volunteers. Free but they appreciate donations to keep this marvel open.

Great place for all the family to visit. Educational and very entertaining.

What a wonderful , museum from top to bottom, the Anderson shelter was a special moment. Whils't my wife and I were in there, two local Nottingham Ladies were reminiscing about there experiences of living through the war in Nottingham, the one lady even reproduced the sound of a Lancaster bomber as she explained the noise they made to her friend , which flew over Nottingham on there way to Europe or back. The young gentleman on duty in the museum also gave us an excellent insight ,making the museum come to life as he talked to us about the various items on display, and even mentioned about his family's involvement in The sherwood Foresters Regiment during WW2. 10 out 10 for the museum.

I did not realise we had such a museum, why is it hiding from me?! Today of all days when google asks me to review it! If I had found it I would 100% give it five stars, even if I didn't like it. For hiding though?.. One star, very disappointing.

Showing how people lived and shopped in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Included is displays of toys and other objects from normal life up to the 1980s. It's funny seeing bits of your own life in a museum!

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much and went in to kill a couple of hours before going for a meal. I was very impressed however and also surprised by how much is actually in there. VERY interesting! We will return.

I've only been once but I had a great time here. It's an impressive building with some great things to see once inside. I'd go again yes.

A mere £2.50 entrance fee. Really informative museum, excellent volunteer guides, caves, great place to spend an hour or so.

Exterior need large containers with sessional flowers to enliven the vicinity helping to make the Museum's exterior far more inviting, good tourism is vital.

Little hidden away, but great museum. Bigger than it looks from the outside
