The museum is housed in the old Johnson family home on Breadmarket Street. On the ground floor is a very good bookshop, incorporating a gift section. The three floors above cover Johnson’s life from childhood to death - including his dictionary and life in London. To say that the staff were knowledgeable on their subject is an understatement. I left wanting to know more about ‘Dr Johnson’ and the Georgians. As a result, I am planning a visit to the capital to explore ‘Dr Johnson’s London.’
If you are coming to Lichfield, then this museum is a must visit.
