Interesting museum dedicated to all things Samuel Johnson. Worth visiting any time of the year, but as an added bonus they have a huge cake to celebrate his birthday.

A nice little place to visit but it helps to be visiting out of a particular interest rather than general interest. Staff friendly and helpful.

Really interesting museum, informative but in a user friendly way, with a bookshop on the ground floor. The owner was very friendly and gave us lots of tips on places to visit in the town.

A peek into the home and life of a local talent. Free entry so no excuse not to wonder in and let your imagination lose.

Had I heard of him? Erm possibly but until I visited this place I couldn't have told you anything about him but the enthusiasm of the staff combined with a museum full of interesting interpretation brought this person to life and set his life firmly in a historical timeline. Be sure to watch the 12 minute video presentation because it's really interesting
