Visited in August 2019. Fascinating museum. We actually got shown round by Mr Norton himself. What an interesting man. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Absolutely fascinating place, incredible collection (with much more in storage!), So well set out as store fronts of original Bromsgrove stores 50+ years ago. Mr. Norton obviously has a great passion for his home town! Also met some well-informed volunteers, long-time residents with whom we chatted - loads to tell us! So interesting. An absolute treat!!! A larger place with a tea-garden would serve Bromsgrove well.

The hidden treasure trove of Bromsgrove, with a vast array of items to look at. There's a lot to learn about Bromsgrove and you’ll likely need to visit more than once in order to take it all in. The volunteer staff are welcoming and can offer you a short tour of the museum answering any questions where possible. Dennis the owner and principle maintainer of the collection regularly pops in and has a very good knowledge of the antiquities on display, and of their historical importance to Bromsgrove. There are also activity worksheets for children/teenagers. The entrance fee is also very reasonable.

Visited today with my young daughter after searching for places to pass an hour while the wife was having some beauty treatment. I was first intrigued after looking through the website, although this is not a Norton Motorcycles museum it does have two fantastic old and very very unique motorcycles that any real fan of bikes would be thrilled to see. What really drew my attention though was how the collection came to be and how it ended up in the building it is in now. Mr Norton actually purchased the building in a state of disrepair and restored it himself in his spare time. This is as much a part of the collection as anything else and really shows the skills knowledge and the character of the man. A big thank you to Dennis and the team there today for being so welcoming. I shall definitely be revisiting when i have more time to study the collection.

A really lovely friendly place with very interesting exhibits. Only £4 entry for adults so can't knock the value. My only suggestion might be better labelling and descriptions. Most of them were a little bitty or in low down spots that were tricky to see. Other than that a lovely little museum.
