Free entry to a 18th Century town house will a real feel of history. The restoration of the building and displays are a real credit to the Trustees - thank you.
Toilets are available in the Heritage Centre on the other side of the road.

A friendly welcome from the staff. Balance of information exhibits etc just perfect. Wander through four floors of Johnson's life - steep stairs. Do stop and watch the 13 minute video loop. Entry is free so make a donation as you leave.

The museum was at the hub of a big set of Johnson events in central Lichfield. Music, drama, markets and events for all ages. Great day's celebrations.

Visitors to Lichfield will find the Birthplace Museum in the center of town. If you're already a fan of Johnson, as I am, you will find a visit to this museum very moving, but even if you're not familiar with him, drop by and the guides will give you enough information to enjoy your visit. Admission is free.

Five floors with a fascinating insight into life and times of basically a book seller and writer who rose to fame and fortune through his tireless work on "Dictionary of the English Language" which he wrote in 1755. Well worth a visit.

A warm welcome by a very knowledgable curator who outlines what there is to see there. Free entry and a helpful guide book makes the visit even more enjoyable. The house is on several floors full of Samuel Johnson's personal belongings so it seems both homely and informative. A very good short video sets the scene to the life of a most prolific writer, poet, and of course dictionary writer. There are children's activites too. One gets the feeling of what it would have Been like to live there. The book shop is superb for both new and second hand editions of Johnson's works. Will go again.
