CLOSED FOR RENOVATION UNTIL LATE-2022/EARLY 2023.

Housed inside the city’s former Royal Arsenal, this somewhat infuriating museum was opened in 1923 and looks like it hasn’t been touched since. Tracing the history of the region through the use of some nice recreations of early dwellings and the usual skeletons and pots, the two floors that make up the museum do, it must be said, possess one of two rather good things to see, and better still, English descriptions have at long last been added to the displays. The entrance incidentally is tucked away conveniently on the far (northern) side of the building.
