Excellent day out. Totally worth it even if you have to drive from Edinburgh. The building is amazing, all of the exhibitions were super interesting and one can spend long time looking at everything… Full review by Milena C

Q:
Could someone please open up a separate review section for the cafe/restaurant so as to distinguish those from the Museum as a whole? Most of the 4 and 5 star reviews consist of people commenting on the catering, whereas the 1-3 star reviews tend to be about the Museum element. Its confusing to conflate the two.
A:
I agree,the cafe should be kept separate as whatever score the elements get reflects on the establishment as a whole.

Why is the content of the museum so poor. It’s an absolute disgrace that all the money and publicity put towards this fabulously iconic building yet the content is just not worth the tome of day

A:
Hopefully, it can then launch it’s own exhibitions because Its woefully inadequate at the moment. Floor space taken up by poor cafe and shop that could be used to exhibit so much …
A:
Hopefully, it can then launch it’s own exhibitions because Its woefully inadequate at the moment. Floor space taken up by poor cafe and shop that could be used to exhibit so much more. One of the most disappointing museums ever. Beautiful building but lacking in content inside.
