We visited yesterday for the Historic Gloucester in Lego exhibition. It was brilliant! I hadn’t known of the building before yesterday, so I was completely surprised when we entered into a lovely courtyard area! We shall definitely be back in the future. NB: There is currently work taking place on the building, so there is a lot of scaffolding out the front particularly. It does make it rather hard to locate!

We went to visit on a prebooked tour. What an amazing building! Coffee in the cafe then onto a tour of the building with lots of interesting tales about its history and the occupants, a very varied group of characters they were.

Visited today, im not sure if they're closing down or remodelling but there was hardly anything to look at, alot of the disaplays were empty and some of the rooms had random bits of clutter piled up in the corners 😳 a few of the rooms where closed off including all the parts outside like the old sweet shop and again they were piled with clutter. The only upside was the cafe and staff, they were very friendly and the...
