Great place to visit 
Not for Kiddies There's nothing quite like it It's closed until May - so plenty of time to plan your visit Once in a life time chance to see so many of Klimt's paintings in one exhibition A few missing links, but there's plenty of good stuff to more than make up for it. It's near where I live It's not on a par with most of CRM's work Convenient location, free. In Leicester? Free admission None as far as I am concernedMilestones Museum (Basingstoke)
Living museum which is all indoors Why has no one heard of it?
Alexander Fleming Museum (London)
Guided tour, inexpensive, a real piece of history. No disabled access, limited opening times
Discovery Museum (Newcastle upon Tyne)
Fun educational and free None
Surreal Things (V&A Exhibition)
Dickens World (Chatham)
Authentic and atmospheric place as a great introduction to the life and times of Dickens Will be very disappointing if believed to be a theme park
