this is definitely the museum ive ever seen. much better than national history museum or tate modern art gallery which is just full of dots and potatoes claiming to be art ?!?!? this museum has a gorgeous dead skeleton in a box which you can look at. even though at first i did think it was a tortoise tank with a tortoise until i saw the dead woman. the crystals are very cheap - only £3.50 for a bracelet. it made me very happy and i screamed ‘hallelujah!! i love this town!’ and the woman at the koisk thought i was crazy but then she started dancing with me because my positivity is so inspiring and beautiful! i fully recommend this museum and if i was spanish i would surely fly across the world to visit this museum and show my spanish friends...

Only one criticism: the stair lift wasn't working, which meant that the family member currently on crutches was confined to the ground floor. We'll just have to go back again when...
