An amazing place to visit. Be sure to check it out. The Coffin Museum staff are very professional and friendly. After a while, I felt like I'd known these people for a long time. We also recommend it for the incredible knowledge. We were with children, and they had fun too, especially my little historian.
It may seem strange and macabre to go to this but it isn't at all. It's more about the manufacturing process and the machines used. The volunteers are all really helpful and informative. I thought I would be in and out in 15 minutes but they made it so interesting I was there for a hour. It is a well preserved factory showing the history of one of the great manufscturing companies that used to be in Birmingham.
真心推薦這個地方 外地來的旅客,建議可以先把行李箱放在飯店,帶著愉悅的心來參訪。 這裡的工作人員相當熱情,知識淵博,雖然我英文不是太好,邊聽導覽邊努力理解,但聽完還是很有收穫喔!內容非常有趣,導覽人員很幽默,可以比較深刻的去了解Birmingham過去的歷史。 此外,現場也有QR code ,有豐富的資訊可以讓參訪的人們更容易理解。 謝謝現場售票工作人員、導覽人員、志工,大家都很和善,我可以感受到大家都很重視並愛護這個地方,讓我和先生在這裡有一份很棒很美好的經驗。我們都非常喜歡這裡
A good insight into the past and working life, presented through stories and anecdotes. Because of the guide's Birmingham accent, we didn't catch everything (we are German).
A thoroughly enjoyable and illuminating experience. We decided to take one of the tours with a guide so discovered a lot. Having said that, my only suggestion would be to allow those on a paid tour to be able to return into the building again, after the tour finishes, as there was no chance to actually absorb everything that was going on in some of the rooms, especially those with detailed panels that we could not read. So it felt like we could only learn from the guide but not have a chance to really discover everything this wonderful place offers.
What a brilliant museum. We were visiting from London and didn't know what to expect, as we had decided to visit the Coffin Works on a bit of a whim. It was incredible. The staff were so welcoming and knowledgeable. There were demonstrations of the machinery and a chance to see all the different areas up close. There is a cafe too! I will be visiting again with my kids next time we are in the area! Thoroughly recommend
Really enjoyed the visit. Their volunteers are very friendly and knowledgable, making the visit a very pleasant experience. It also provided an indepth view of Birmingham industrial past. Although it is not close to any train station, it is within walking distance from the Birmingham central district, and easily be found via Goggle Map. But please note that the museum does not open daily, so do check its opening hours beforehand.
