Museo y Centro de Patrimonio de Durham

Experiencia positiva: Nice place to walk round

Experiencia fantástica: Fascinating place

Experiencia fantástica: Sweet little museum just around the corner from the cathedral. Worth the £5 entry, although parts of it do look like a school history project, it’s very informative and offers a lot about the history of the area

Experiencia fantástica: I Enjoy it great place to take the family

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic museum. We were completely unaware of it's existence until a nice gentleman stopped to ask if we could conplete a questionnaire for the museum. Very happy to have found such a wonderful museum, we stopped by on our way up to the cathedral. The museum could definitely benefit from announcing it's presence a bit better. Had it not have been for the questionnaire, we would have been none the wiser.

Experiencia fantástica: A little off the beaten track but well worth a visit, easy short walk from the cathedral, interesting time line from medieval to modern times, some games in the garden for kids.

Experiencia fantástica: Really interesting, worth the £5 per person entry even though you could buy a pint of beer in London for that.

Experiencia fantástica: This was a lovely find, I feel it needs better signage outside to entice passersby in as whilst we were there many were looking and saying "that's nice, I wonder what it is" and then walking away. Lots of interesting information on show, I'd have liked it to have gone back a little further into Anglo-Saxon times too, perhaps. Well worth your time and support though so go check it out.

Experiencia fantástica: Great museum, with lots of local interest and great for all the family.

Experiencia positiva: Interesting visit

Experiencia fantástica: Beautiful with a lovely architecture city!

Experiencia negativa: It's £2.50 entry to a small church which has been hastily converted into a pathetic exhibit. You couldn't call it a museum. The Spanish girl on the door was rude and unhelpful. An irrelevant vhs video is probably the oldest thing there! Fuss was made about the statues outdoors which look like a GCSE art class were let loose on trees with a chainsaw. The historical content was basically lots of printed cards talking about the pits and some old objects which even I own! It reminded me of a school project. Neither worth the time or the money.

Experiencia negativa: In an old church, it's always closed whenever I go past. Maybe I just go by on the wrong days or something. I'm sure they have something of interest inside, but I've no idea what that might be.

Experiencia positiva: Very interesting. Helpful staff and a beautifil embroidery exhibition just now.

Experiencia positiva: Good

Experiencia positiva: Interesting and worth a visit

Experiencia positiva: Une survivance du passé - la museographie est aussi datée que le batiment. Quelques informations sur la ville de Durham qui expliquent comment la ville a raté le tournant industriel - et s'en est trouvé très appauvrie par la suite.

Experiencia positiva: Interesting little place.

Experiencia fantástica: Lots of unusual objects and information relating to the area. Very interesting. I had a look around after viewing the cathedral and castle . Well worth the time. Pop in while in the area.

Experiencia positiva: Interesting talk by stone mason

Experiencia positiva: Hoe leefde men hier nog enkele decennia terug. En het verhaal van Sint Cuthbert.

Experiencia positiva: Great little museum in the middle of Durham

Experiencia positiva: Small fee but nice little museum

Experiencia positiva: Lovely wee museum

Experiencia negativa: Not open November to March for some reason, despite stating it's open on here. Wasted walk.

Experiencia fantástica: If you want a glimpse into the history of picturesque Durham, then this is the place for you. When I went, the counters were staffed by archeology students, perfect for a county like Durham.
