This is a new building, and it is just an amazing place! They were extremely clever and the library and museum are together, so you can appreciate art whilst browsing to find a book. The stury rooms are also brand new and just a great seeltting. Definitely a place to go to if you need to read other catch up with studies. Staff is polite and take time to help you with watever you need. There is a piano, and there is always someone playing in the background, so it adds up positively to the experiece. To finish, there is a cafe downstairs with loads of options and great staff.
A quirky collection of local exhibits in a stunning building, including some pretty special portraits. Learn more about the town's history, natural history and residents and enjoy an unusal and welcoming space for free.
Since reopening, the Amelia Scott library/museum space is now a wonderful place in Tunbridge Wells. The blending of library, museum, exhibition space is a really good idea as previously they were distinct, separate and if you went for one, you didn't tend to go into the others. Also like the "suggested" books put out as I've stumbled across a lot of new books. So even whilst I still buy a lot of books, the Amelia Scott, library/museum has rekindled my engagement with literature.
It's the Tunbridge Wells Library. Greate to bring kids and also for light stroll inside the museum.
I've mixed feelings; I felt there was a lot of unused space on the ground floor. The adult library could have been larger as I felt cramped in between some bookcases & book choices were limited. The kids library was being used for story time, so I couldn't look for, nor get help with a child's language book. Help Points were very busy with an 8 min wait I was there at 10:15. Gave the impression of being a large cafe & meeting point. Perhaps I might feel different about it, in time!
Was curious to see what’s inside the new museum and it’s really nice. I liked the part about history of Tunbridge Wells. It’s not a big museum but it’s very interesting and well organised. Hopefully some new exhibition will arrive in the future.
Superb. Reopened in April after significant renovation. Beautiful and thoughtfully curated artwork throughout. Great children’s library. Interesting exhibits throughout. Smart and well laid out. Great on-site cafe. Well worth a visit.
Wonderful modern small museum, exhibition space and library. Child-scaled friendly kids library with lovely snug child-nesting and reading areas. Clean modern design.. very helpful staff. Lovely cafe and courtyard sitting area.
Love the "then and now" touch screen photos. Nice little cafe too.
Lovely library for children and adultsfirst floor
