In July 2024, Nadya Oppenheim said about The Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum
Really appreciated the "Johnson in his century" exhibit on the second floor — it's a simple thing but this type of formatting is just so effective in contextualising history (which can too easily be a muddle of names and dates). Also had fun using the ink blotter on the first floor and flipping through the dictionary facsimile on the top floor.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that entry is free (given that it is a smaller museum far away from the London belt) and hope people donate generously.
I came away with a greater interest in the man behind the first definitive English-language dictionary and would happily visit again. In the meantime, I'm off to visit its London counterpart, 17 Gough Square (and Hodge the Cat)!
