    The 80s exhibition is truly delightful! A trip down memory lane, the movies, stars and songs of the 80s set me tingling with nostalgia. A reminder of the days when we had Marathon bars and Opal Fruits, Fame was on telly, Human League, Eurythmics, etc on TOTP 🎶

    The gallery is nice with a big military section. But, the art exhibition is very small, two rooms only. I am sure Worcester has more history to show. Why is it not introduced yet?

    I really liked this place, but being an archaeologists I was hoping for more roman iron age saxon displays, but that's just me. The displays on how the Worcester rehiments came to be and expansion from the 18th century to present day is breath taking the 19th century industrialisation of Worcester has been really well put together. The art gallery has been nicely put together, and at the time of visiting a display of art from Cornwall to the malvern Hills was on djow ,with dome impressive pieces. Lively friendly staff, little coffee bar, dorry didn't check disabled access, but I'm sure there eould be something. Town centre parking available, 5..10 minutes walk along the main drag. Enjoy.😁

    Lovely little museum and gallery where you can spend an hour or two. Kids friendly. Daughter loved the little play area in the middle. Simple but educational and fun. Coffee was very good as well.

    Small but well put together history. There is enough to keep you busy for an hour or two. Nice displays. Children's area. Small shop. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Free entry. There is a lift here. Cafe upstairs.

    Great exhibits. Had an 80s themed section when we went. Even has the original Worcester sauce recipe jug from which the nectar of the gods was perfected. Always love a museum visit when i travel, and we spent nice little afternoon looking around this museum

    Nice museum. Quite small, but well curated. It was a bit depressing to find that stuff from the 1980s are museum-exhibits these days, though 😂😂 Seriously, it's an excellent installation that the children found fascinating, and I found pleasantly nostalgic.

    Positives: admission is free, with voluntary donation. They are managing to cram a lot into a small space - very varied displays. A lot of space given to the Worcestershire Regiment. Negatives: maybe they shouldn't bother with the stuffed birds. They are sad and dusty - well past their prime. Opening hours could be better - we had to be out at 4.30pm, and closed on Sundays! Why not close on Monday instead? Sunday for many families is the one day they could attend together. Certainly money is tight, but ... Overall, could be better.

    A little bit disappointed that there was not a larger collection, especially of artwork, but much of the museum is given over to the history of the local army regiment and its postings.
