land of the lost content museum印象

This is the most unusual museum I've been to in years, and while you're going round you think of someone else who would love it - I heard several people (including our own party) say "I've got to bring xxxx here, they'd love that!". It's a hard place to describe, Stella, who curates and runs it, is a true artist who has dedicated her life to collecting items that belong to ordinary people of the past century, and together with her husband, have literally CRAMMED as much as they can into this quirky, fascinating building, with home made signs and packed displays. From rooms about wartime to toys and television, to specialist displays such as cameras, Butlins, The Beatles and Post Offices, it's suitable for all ages. Children will love the massive mobile phones and the fashions - I love the old fashioned hair dresser display and the Avon Pomanders and Soap on a Ropes! These items are used to dress sets in theatres, museums and TV and it's so well priced and in the lovely setting of Craven Arms, right by the railway station. It also has a little cafe. It's so packed I'll have to go back and see more…. It's quite tightly packed so not suitable for pushchairs and it takes around 1.5 - 2 hours to look round properly.

Two main groups will love this attraction: anyone over 40 and anyone under 18. It says at the entrance that children must keep their parents under control at all times and it certainly was like that! My boys loved seeing the stuff from the Dark Ages of the 70's and Dad's stuff of his childhood. The toy display was fascinating and the tracing paper loo roll raised a titter! Perfect afternoon and very reasonable entrance fee.

This museum is jam packed to the rafters, on 3 floors, with items from the late Victorian era to the present day. You would need to be there for hours to do it justice. Particularly of interest to the Baby Boomer generation. Well worth a visit.

I recently escorted a group of 22 Seniors to this attraction. Having been here myself I thought that this would be a wonderful nostalgic place for them. Unfortunately, they and I were sadly disappointed . I had not been for 4 years and it seems that items have just been added to a degree where the overall impression is of a junk shop of left overs. I know there are a great number of wonderful exhibits but feel that 'less could be more'. The place has an atmosphere of dirt and grime, mainly because of the overcrowding. My group were scheduled for an hour but some came straight out most emerged after 10-15 minutes and all were out in 35 minutes. Please remove 25 - 30% of the exhibits and clean the display areas, make the walkways less of a trip hazard , especially for the elderly. This will restore it to the wonderful attraction it was before. Unfortunately, I will not be using this on my group toursuntil I can be certain it is what it was.

I love this museum it is packed to bursting point with things to see. not suitable though for someone who is a bit unstable on their feet as there isn't much room to get around. there is a lovely little café which sells a perfect cup of tea as well. all in all a different and pleasurable museum well worth a visit. I would love to see the old van which stands outside restored and running about the streets. The owner is very friendly and will chat away to you giving you information about the museum if you approach her.

Very interesting , very different . Perhaps not suitable for disabled people but it was several years ago I went there , might be better access now . Certainly recommend going there , especially on a wet day !

This is one of the most amazing museums I have ever been in and I have been in lots. Allow a couple of hours at least. Good staff.

We wanted somewhere to go with our adult children. It was perfect. Loads of different articles and items that took two generations back in time. Things our parents use to talk about, and toys etc our children use to play with. I would advise you to give yourselves plenty of time to go round this tardis of past times. Absolutely great. Both generations were enthralled . Surprisingly, at many items, we all stood and had discussions about what we remembered. It's a must!

Wonderfully interesting jumble of stuff from my childhood era and before, you are bound to be saying "wow I remember those". Well worth a visit if you want to feel nostalgic, and the entry price is good.

Just returned from visiting this treasure trove of a museum. It really is packed to the rafters with stuff that we remembered from our childhoods and also things which we remembered our parents and grandparents having. It is wonderful to visit a collection that is obviously so lovingly put together and displayed. We loved the packed displays because every time you looked you recognised something not seen on first glance, so many items to spark a conversation and an anecdote.An amazing museum and a wonderful way to finish our holiday in Shropshire
