This seems like an ideal place to spend some time. I did not go into the museum because of my significant foot pain and the walking became a bit much. I also think that it was lovely to see the woman at the front desk knitting because that is something that you do not see on a regular basis. It was really nice to see and she was very friendly. The nearby War Mememorial is also worth seeing. People have taken the time to decorate stones and it is a beautiful job and effort. Please see the photos I took of them because I think that they are just wonderful.
Friendly staff and a great museum. Good mix of historical information about Alton and the surrounding area with a variety of interesting exhibits. Also great for children - dedicated children's area at the start with toys and game as well as various things to do dotted around the museum. Treasure trail was fun for the kids. Well worth a visit.
An historic museum in an historic building occupying two floors of treasure of information and display of the historic Alton and the surroundings. The staffs at reception are helpful and knowledgeable. Unfortunately the entrance does not give the impression of a museum as you enter but more like a stationary shop! I couldn’t imagine what a wonderful display of history was behind that ‘shop’. Does it have to be to give importance to cheap looking souvenirs instead of making it look like a proper museum reception? The reception area should be enlarged with a larger reception desk to look more professional and more design changes should be implemented.
Fantastic welcoming museum. The shop is filled with items for dolls houses and an evolving selection of plants are for sale. As you work around the museum there are lots of interactive activities for children. Well worth a visit. Free entry
Finding a museum as good as this in a relatively small town is a joy. The Curtis Museum hits the right notes for sure. The Curtis Museum is a medium sized museum with enough interest to keep you occupied for up to an hour. Many interesting displays, and some quite famous. Visit it yourself to find out what. Not to be missed if you're passing through Alton with an hour to spare. It's in the high street and easily spotted.
We couldn't stay here for long but we were very glad we came by. This museum is an abundance of absorbing historic events and furnished to make it more realistic and interesting. Alton is full of the most communicative and affable people that we have ever had the delight of meeting.
Excellent informative local museum. Knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming members and staff and interesting things to buy in the shop.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
