Entertaining and informative visit, showing many aspects of life as it has been in past. For me, the main interest was the machinery having come to Lincoln as an engineer 30 odd years ago

For a small museum this one has plenty to see and plenty to interest everyone, free entry makes it an excellent place for a family day out. Nice little cafe serving delicious food too. If ou are visiting Lincoln this is one not to miss.

I took my grandchildren on an adventure; they thought it was OK, I thought it was fantastic - probably because I remembered seeing scenes like they depicted! The machine was very interesting to see at close quarters; an very good effort to show implements from a previous generation.

Many of these “Local Life” museums can be nothing more more than a collection of old junk, but this is probably the best one I’ve visited in the UK. The dispays are af a very high quality, and the subjects include the military, farming, local industry, the typical home, and shop displays. It is free to enter, and located close... More

This is must visit museum. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable . The exhibits are displayed in room settings and well displayed. The Royal Lincs Regimental galleries are fascinating and contain the best medal collection I have seen in a museum. The industry and farming gallery with the machinery ranging from road roller to tank is a must for all... More

Its a good Museum and presents its exhibits fairly well, when we visited some of the larger exhibits needed a good clean and freshen up. I personally hate staff dressed up and leaping at you from the exhibits I find it really cringy so if you do too avoid those days, its like end of pier panto. All in all... More
