Museums long ago ceased to be stuffy
rooms full of glass cases containing bits of old pottery
and fossilised bones. Today even most conventional
museums including displays which change but over recent
years there has been a growth in industrial and "living"
museums. Here you can get a feel for how people lived
and worked, the hardships they endured...
Galleries listed include not just civic
galleries displaying publicly owned artworks, but also
privately owned galleries with items for sale.
