NOTES MADE Following VISIT TO THE Humphrey DAVY Museum OF MINING Technology
Doors still closed at 10.12 a.m. - advertised hours 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Man who unlocked door gave no reason, was rather rude and looked a mess.
Cost £ 3 to get in - no ticket issued.
Two exhibition rooms closed - no idea why.
Two other rooms in semi-darkness.
Six out of ten of the kinetic displays in the children's gallery
did not work when the buttons were pressed.
There were no labels on thirty exhibits and another ten had labels too close to the floor.
The 'Ace Cafe' had run out of coffee and my 'Collier's sandwich'
(prawns and mayonnaise) was probably left over from the day before.
Conclusion - food AND actual visit very disappointing.
