Newest Review: ... which in is admirable, but the flaw is there is little information that isn't at this level. As an adult I felt the museum had little to offer me and felt I should be visiting with a child in tow.

Off i went for a 'my city tour' last Saturday, part of which was to visit the newly revamped, and hi tech Museum in the cultural William Brown Street.
