Lincoln Museum

My visit to the Lincoln Museum was far more enjoyable than I anticipated. What I thought would be a brief exploration of Lincoln's history turned out to be a fantastical dive into the development of civilization. For a free venue, I was blown away by the quality of the museum.

The museum excels at using a variety of engaging mediums, with many interactive displays, games to play, and recreations available to access for free among the vast amount of informative exhibits. The collection of historic items is impressive, featuring relics from the Romans, Vikings, and more. The museum itself is very modern, the building is beautiful, and the air conditioning was a godsend on a hot summer day.

The staff were very helpful and welcoming. We even had a few interesting conversations with other visitors who were passionate about discussing history.

If I have to find something to critique, it would be our experience returning in the evening for the launch of the games expo. The website stated a 6 pm start, but when we visited earlier in the day, the posters, flyers, and desk staff all said 5 pm. When we arrived at 5 pm, everything was locked, and we weren't allowed in until 6 pm. This was an inconvenience, as it used up our holiday time and required us to pay for parking. The expo itself was fine but did not exceed our expectations.

Despite this minor inconvenience, my overall experience at the Lincoln Museum was outstanding, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in history and interactive exhibits.
