A very interesting couple of hours. Just the right balance of information given, not too much to read that you just stop bothering. We particularly liked the interactive display. When they offer you a sticker at the ticket office, make sure your party picks a variety of colours.

MUSEUM OF ROYAL WORCESTER REVIEWS
I'd visited before, but made this visit with overseas friends. I think the museum has improved greatly with excellent exhibits and explanations. My friends were very pleased. Would highly recommend a visit if you see in the area.
A thoroughly pleasing experience. Excellent staff, wonderfully welcoming. Could spend upwards of 2-3 hours wandering through a superb display of the glory years of Worcester porcelain. Very good range in the shop. Would recommend even to those without a previous interest in such a subject.
Extremely interesting. Make sure you get an audio guide (free) as it brings the exhibits to life.

Tudor House Museum is a quaint yet exquisitely curated independent museum housed within a remarkable example of a close-studded timber-framed building featuring the only original embossed ceiling remaining in Worcester. Operated entirely by dedicated volunteers, they stepped in to steward the museum when it faced the threat of closure. With its rich history, Tudor House has served as a dwelling and workplace for various occupants, including weaver clothiers, carpenters, bakers, and a 17th-century solicitor’s widow. Visitors are invited to explore the 16th-century bedroom a 17th-century tavern, and indulge in a delightful coffee shop inspired by the works of Richard Cadbury. The museum vividly resurrects forgotten tales of Worcester's history. Ideal for family visits, Tudor House offers engaging activities like dressing up and games for children throughout the year, providing an immersive and interactive experience for visitors of all ages.

An incredible little gem on friar street not to be missed when you visit Worcester, you will be met by informed volunteers at the Door who will send you on a journey to past Worcester life. A great educational tool for your children and a terrific memory jogger for the more mature visitor. Don't miss the Cafe it has a great history.
I really enjoyed it. There were plaques on the walls telling you about everything. If you had any questions there were a couple of guides to answer them for you. The best thing entry was free.
A lovely museum in a building with a rich history. I highly recommend their talks - really interesting. The cafe is lovely and well priced. The chocolate cake was particularly good!
