Replace the midweek hump with something fun - a trip to the Museum! We're open today and through to Sunday. Remember, pay once and return as often as you like for a whole year for FREE. We love it when people come to see us, but this chap has been 'hanging around' for ages!

This isn't just any honey, this is the finest honey from the Museum's own bees. Grab yourselves a pot of perfection from our shop, but you'll need to fly over here promptly as it sells out all too quickly. You've bee-n warned 🐝 #miltonkeynes #miltonkeynesmuseum #honey

No memory foam here! Not an electric alarm clock, mobile phone or smart television in sight, either. Come and explore Victorian life in our farmhouse.

Long before the convenience of bakery chains, things used to look something like this - you didn't even have to leave home to get one. The bad news? It was less 'takeaway' and more, 'Wait until I say you can have one!' Woe betide anyone who tried to sneak one without permission😀

We are very grateful to the family of Roy Pink, who have donated his Penny Farthing to us. These bicycles were sometimes called Ordinary bikes, but as you can see, there is nothing very ordinary about this! It will be on display soon.

A long time before streaming, downloads and TV on the go, entertainment used to look a little bit like this...it's still that way in our Street of Shops - take a peek the next time you visit us. And who remembers listening booths in record stores, and the television repair shops?

We've just been out checking the Victorian Garden and it's already feeling warm. If anyone wants us for the rest of the day, we'll be in the shed! >Why not pack up a picnic and make use of our great green space while the sun shines? Remember the suntan lotion and hats!
