I had intended to write a review full of childish "organ" innuendo - but i see i have been beaten to it! Instead i can agree that this is a rare collection of organs, and is worth a visit to see them in action. The staff are all big fans, and can go into too much depth, but taken that... More

On a visit to Bracknell we decided to travel to St Albans to see this museum, it was well worth the journey, we were made very welcome and enjoyed the free drink of Coffee and tea supplied (a tradition started by the original owner) only the mechanical organs were playing that day, but that is what I wanted, the big...
