Laura Wharton
★★★★★a month agoAbsolutely worth a visit. I was so captured by the part of the museum that tells the story of Henry Reiss' life - it's incredibly moving. I was engrossed and spent time reading all of the information and looking at his documents o avery detailed and interesting museum. I have just finished his book that I bought at the museum that is also absolutely worth reading, I couldn't put it down!
