Came to Lichfield for this and was a treat. Full of artifacts that was Johnson's. The staff were so interesting and generous with their time. Spent some time looking at his dictionary. Really want one now!!! This could end up being expensive. Loved it.

Super friendly and warm heart staff. Always make people feel like home! It's Dr. Jonathan's 310th birthday today, there were lots of fun activities and free cake for visitors. Every staff works very hard here, their efforts making this museum always warm and sweet. Just want to say thank you for all stuff and volunteers here, your smile like bright sunshine, I feel like back home. (I wish this was my home🤣)

Well worth a visit as it is well thought out and full of memorabilia. There is a video on the ground floor to watch for those who cannot make the stairs as the museum is over four floors.
