This museum is free of charge and explains a great deal about the life and times of Sam Johnson.
We were made welcome,upon entry, by knowledgable staff, who clearly took a pride in the establishment. It was on five floors and not easy to access by anyone disabled or infirm; however the items on show were interesting and explained clearly by wall mounted information.
There was a twelve minute film available to view.
A lovely way to pass an hour in an unassuming but charming city.

Popped in here for the first time after over 30 years living in Lichfield! Wish I had not left it so long.....there are number of floors with exhibits showing the lives of Johnson, Garrick and other characters. A variety of activities for young children and enough to interest all ages.

My mother lived a few hundred yards from the museum from 1987 and this was our first visit!
A fascinating insight into Dr Johnson and to Lichfield in the 18th Century.
We actually called in to book an Easter Holiday activity for our 9 year old
grandaughter which is called SPY SCHOOL
Perhaps a further review will be required after that takes place.

We happened upon this museum on our way to Lichfield Cathedral. It was free to enter. Inside it is laid out as an 18th century house in which you climb up to the top finding out about Samuel Johnson's life. There is a really interesting video presentation telling you about Johnson on the first floor and then you continue the visit finding out more details through the people friendly exhibits.
A lovely little museum. Another must when visiting Lichfield.

In April 2017, Pelagius_Redivivus said about The Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum
We came here last week with an Australian visitor, and were very pleasantly surprised to find that admission is free! (Of course, donations are welcome.) The volunteer who received us was extremely friendly and welcoming, and keen to explain things.
The house is fairly small, with a couple of rooms on each of five levels, and the displays are well laid out, and with good explanations. There is an audio-visual room, but unfortunately we were somewhat pressed for time and weren’t able to view the film. However, since there is no admission charge, we certainly intend to return.

Had a very interesting time, the assistants gave veryknowlegable information. It's a museum so don't think it would be suitable for young children
