I like museums and I particularly enjoy them when surrounded by lovely gardens. If I won the lottery, this is the kind of place I would like to buy. Of course it would need an army of staff to keep it running, but then - as a lottery winner, that would be no problem!

A gem of a museum with lovely gardens. Very informative without being too in depth and boring. Very friendly and helpful staff. Don't miss it if you're in Christchurch.

Small museum but they have made the most of the space with interesting displays and made a very good effort at including activites for kids. Worth a visit.

Came across the museum and decided to pop in with my mum while visiting christchurch. We found it very interesting.

Brilliant little local museum and garden. Lots of local stuff to see and learn. Kids should love it too.

My sister and I had a lovely time exploring this little fascinating local history museum. We had to leave before seeing all we wanted to so will come back again and bring more of the family.

12yr granddaughter enjoyed the museum especially the decades off fashion. Good clean loos with running hot water.

This is a pocket of Christchurch history all wrapped up in an enchanting building near the Priory. There are also some wonderful gardens to enjoy coffee in. Really worth a visit

Lovely small museum with lots of items on display. Staff were well informed and very helpful. Showed local history of the Poor House which the museum once was and surrounding area.
