This place is great, staff are amazing and the place always changes..lots of work sheets so amazing for home schooled children. These pictures are for black history and education

It tries, but not that hard. Everything you'd expect in a small town museum but nothing really interesting or any clear plan.

fabulous programme of family events and the local artist's exhibition had some great pictures

I went to see their Windrush exhibition, it was really good.

We really enjoyed the museum. The entrance is full of memories of Mansfield businesses, which were very interesting. There was plenty to entertain children, a wonderful collection of paintings, and a very interesting display covering the Windrush generation. The only disappointing thing for me was a lack of sporting history, but I guess there just isn't room to cover everything all of the time. All in all, an enjoyable couple of hours.

I thought it was wonderful, such a lovely free thing to do with the children!

First time I have been to the museum, it was for an event through work. Lovely place, clean and lots of information on the history of Mansfield.

Such a lovely visit with my 1 year old this morning. I came with work on a school trip and knew she would just love it. The staff are all so lovely and friendly. I’m sure we will be back very soon.

A little gem - this was my first visit and I went specifically for the Windrush exhibition. A great little find. I will visit again

We are from Australia and visited mansfield museum to find out more about my great great grandad that lived in the rock houses and we can not thank Paul enough he was so helpful in finding the information and also pointing out other information thanks Paul and the staff at the museum so much interesting memories of mansfield

Been here a few times for different events they've held from sparkle sensory play for babies to craft fairs and it's always been great. Always very well organised and something different in the museum to see.

Do you know local councils are getting bashed recently for various things. This is our local council providing a great community walk through history of the local area. It is so much more too, lots for children over school holidays, clothes swap, and various events championing the theatre next door. We had a wonderful hour (needed more) looking at the exhibits and learning about other things in the area. The staff we're impossibly kind and generous with their information. Especially enjoyed the space room with photos provided by a local photographer. Keep up the community kindness. It's a lovely place and well worth an hour or two of your time.

The museum is a really wonderful place to see 'days gone by' and for children to engage in hands-on experience in some of the fun activities. Learn about local history and the similarities to other countries about the fate of mine closures. The displays are changed frequently, so even though you have visited once, there's new displays out to see when you want to revisit. A real walk down memory lane. The entrance is suitable for all ages and abilities. It has wheelchair accessibility around the museum on the ground level, but I'm uncertain if you can access the upper level as I have not been up there. Staff are very welcoming and helpful. There's a shop inside and access to the bar. Toilets are available for all abilities.

This is a lovely place to take your kids to teach them about the local history of the Mansfield area it's well worth a visit.

Boring , needs updating, Best part is the beginning, rest is just the same old stuff

Great day out with gd. She loved it. Free as well

Had a lovely morning at the museum with our Grandson he enjoyed every minute great staff and all for free thank you ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

All about Mansfield through the ages, specifically (but not exclusively) for children. A lovely experience for everyone.

Worth a look round and its free lots for kids to do

Enjoyed the activities that they set up some fantastic stuff to do for half term. And crazy golf if you took your time you could spend an hour to an hour and a half there. It is busy at this time due to it being half term.

Brilliant place, my grand children love it , definitely worth a visit

Very interesting things about past like brewery coal mining med etc plus lovely things on sale and different things to look at and very informative place

Amazing place and free. The best part for me was the art gallery with the watercolours of turn of the century Mansfield.

Very disappointing. I had hoped to gain an insight into the foundation and development of Mansfield, the physical growth of the conurbation, its economic flourishing and decline, perhaps with relief landscape models, comparative historic town plans, artefacts, etc. Instead, displays were mainly restricted to trivial wall boards, with the exception of tableaux about local industries. Where were the interviews and portraits of miners and metal box makers to inject a human aspect? Where were the down-to-earth depictions of the lives of the children who were shipped from London to serve as slaves in the textile mills? This was a complete waste of time and space. Mansfield deserves so much more.

Incredible little spot, full of insightful information about mansfield and our impact on the environment. Interactive displays and very much children orientated. Brilliant support groups and refreshment facilities. My only criticism is that its not big enough. We need more please!!
