An interesting museum and bookshop dedicated to Samuel Johnson. The short film of his life was worth watching and as it was a Saturday there were children's craft workshops. There was also dancers of the period performing in one of the rooms. It was all free, the only thing we paid for was the mulled wine and mince pies.

We were welcomed by the friendly lady on reception who informed us about the house. I came away knowing much more about Johnson and with respect for his outstanding talent. The video presentation is just the right length and is pitched very well. Not suitable for those who cannot climb stairs, but there is a good virtual guide on the ground floor.

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.
