My family and I called into the museum on Monday 7th April. It was very informative of the life of Samuel Johnson. We all thought it well worth the visit and would certainly recommend a visit.

I bought visitors from our German subsidiary here. They loved the way the building is tucked away by the Cathedral, the medicinal herb garden and the opportunity to look around the rooms.
A real winner.

Friendly staff in a very well presented 5 floor Georgian home that contains a rich variety of artefacts: letters, prints, portraits, dictionary and interactive dictionary, and some furniture from Samuel Johnson and his close friends, such as James Boswell and the actor David Garrick.

I've lived locally for 40+ years and passed this places hundreds of times and actually only visited it when relatives from Australia came over. Informative and the staff were friendly and knew their stuff.

An enjoyable and informative way to spend an hour or more, depending how interested you are.
The museum offers a clear and insightful picture of Samuel Johnson's life through information panels, artefacts, a short video and interactive displays; the balance is just right between providing plenty of information without overwhelming you with too much to read.
Free entry but well worthy of a generous donation.

Right in the center of the city, and a lovely museum celebrating one of the true characters of our history. Spread over several floors of a real family home from the past. Lots of interesting exhibits and a copy of one of the first issues of his amazing dictionary. Very friendly staff and all very well looked after - highly recommended.

Situated just next to the market square in the centre of town, this building looks like nothing special. However, once inside you find yourself transported into a beautifully preserved museum.
Each room is insightful and interesting and the staff are extremely knowledgeable. Definitely worth a visit if you're interested in etymology of the history of the English language.

The house of Dr. Johnson has been well set out and cared for by local volunteers. A 13 minute introductory film sets up the this short but well worthwhile visit. A must is looking through his dictionary of the English language.
