    We were greeted by a familiar face, which was very nice. The gallery and myseum are well worth a visit for a reality check.

    Had a fantastic hour wandering around in a dress and wig. Would recommend it. Only complaint was that they had no high heels.

    A lovely little art gallery and museum. There’s a small selection of 19th century art, a lovely collection of Ruskin pottery and a small children’s gallery which would make a great space for little ones to play in. Entry is free and the staff provided a lovely warm welcome.

    Great place to visit. Local artists exhibit in the gallery, back in time memory rooms, toys from through the decades and one of the largest Ruskin pottery collections in Europe. Also lots of things go on the for both children and adults.

    Had a fantastic visit to the museum & art gallery, with 2 kids aged 14 & 10, The model, train exhibition was amazing which is initially what the visit was for, however little did we realise upstairs the scooter exhibition and retro rooms are real eye opener, the museum itself is a lovely building and staff were really friendly Worth a defo few hrs with kids There is free parking at the Morrisons opposite for up to 3hrs(check the parking signs)

    I went to the art gallery to see my friends Pat and Phil who are in an art class. It was a pleasure meeting everyone and seeing their lovely paintings. After that,Pat showed me around the art gallery which was delightful. Thanks everyone who chatted to me and made me feel welcome. See you again.

    I only drove past it, but it seems ok. There are walls made of bricks, some windows and a roof.

    Great venue for your short visit to Wednesbury Museum. Four panels on the building's facade show the heads of Sir Christopher Wren  to represent Architecture,  Sir Joshua Reynolds  for Art, John Flaxman for Sculpture, Sir Isaac Newton for Science.

    Interesting but small, not sure I understood relevance of the overseas photos, but enjoyed the visit. The toys through the decades could be expanded on as very nostalgic to most people.
