Tunbridge Wells Museum and Art Gallery

Wonderful modern small museum, exhibition space and library. Child-scaled friendly kids library with lovely snug child-nesting and reading areas. Clean modern design.. very helpful staff. Lovely cafe and courtyard sitting area.

I've mixed feelings; I felt there was a lot of unused space on the ground floor. The adult library could have been larger as I felt cramped in between some bookcases & book choices were limited. The kids library was being used for story time, so I couldn't look for, nor get help with a child's language book. Help Points were very busy with an 8 min wait (I was there at 10:15). Gave the impression of being a large cafe & meeting point. Perhaps I might feel different about it, in time!

Superb. Reopened in April after significant renovation. Beautiful and thoughtfully curated artwork throughout. Great children’s library. Interesting exhibits throughout. Smart and well laid out. Great on-site cafe. Well worth a visit.

Actually having so much spent on the new building, extremely disappointing Very little there and what is .is too simplified There is also one of the many advisors, no matter who you were being advised interjects rather close to a bullying attitude the person you were talking too acts in such a beligerant manner as to make or attempt to make them seen as irrelevant.

Wonderful space. A lot of work has gone into this building.
I love the murals painted on the walls throughout the building.
Well done everyone who had a part in it.

Since reopening, the Amelia Scott library/museum space is now a wonderful place in Tunbridge Wells. The blending of library, museum, exhibition space is a really good idea as previously they were distinct, separate and if you went for one, you didn't tend to go into the others. Also like the "suggested" books put out as I've stumbled across a lot of new books. So even whilst I still buy a lot of books, the Amelia Scott, library/museum has rekindled my engagement with literature.

Was curious to see what’s inside the new museum and it’s really nice. I liked the part about history of Tunbridge Wells. It’s not a big museum but it’s very interesting and well organised. Hopefully some new exhibition will arrive in the future.

Nice new looking museum and library. All clean and great facilities too.
