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 learn about local heritage, get a
feel for how people lived and worked, the hardships they
endured...
