Very small museums

[Randy Winkman]

Anyone been to any good small museums lately? In the last few weeks I've been to the the Shoreham Aircraft Museum (that's Shoreham between Orpington and Sevenoaks) and the Morgan 3 wheeler car museum in Rolvenden, Kent. Both great places and with particularly nice staff.

Thanks folks. I'm getting some good tips and am especially attracted to the ones that cost about £3. That's what the ones I've been to cost. The Egyptian one looks good too. Similar to that I've also been to the Vrolik Museum near Amsterdam.

Seriously weird though and not for everyone.

I went to the Shoreham museum a few moths ago and was underwhelmed when I walked in. However what makes the place are the very knowledgeable volunteers there who really make the place. It's worth a visit.

I take your point. Perhaps it's not quite what some people want. But you're right, the volunteers are nice. And you can get good cake at the tea shop next to it.

Sadly, I've just seen that the pedal car museum in Northiam is now closed.

Not a museum, but the aquarium at Ilfracombe is small but pretty good.

Thanks. I'll be down that way in September.

Croydon airport is worth a visit, open on the first Sunday of the month http://www.croydonairportsociety.org.uk

Despite living on the door step for over 50 years, I had never gone there untill this year. Well worth a good look around, no entrance fee just a donation

Thanks. I'm on the doorstep of Shoreham and had never gone until a week ago. I'm close to Croydon too so will pop along.

I went to school in Orpington. So the answer is yes ....... about 35 years ago.
