The exhibits are all plaster casts (not a real bone to be seen) and so simplistic even kids are bored. This is all a shame, since it is one of the most beautiful examples of polychrome brick in the country, with amazing mouldings and details. What the museum needed was a serious extension that responded to the existing buildings, not a blob of whipped crap.

According to Darwin, if you give it enough time, this blob will eventually evolve into an 80-story high starship that will shuttle between London and Mars (which we are yet to observe). Just sit down and wait. @Kong: Wrong :)
