Very interesting place. Went on the guided tour around the ruins of the crystal palace which last 1hr 45 mins. Well worth doing. It cost £5 . The museum is free and open the first Sunday of the month . April till October.

I would like to give a massive shout out for this magnificent museum. Though it a has limited number of exhibits they still tell an extremely fascinating story of one of Britain's lost treasures and this is wonderfully supplemented by the extremely knowledgeable and personable guide who gave me an indepth background to the Crystal Palace. I would heartily recommend a visit to this unappreciated gem of a museum, Oi UK government give this place the funding it deserves!!

I found the museum fascinating. The film of the 1936 fire was particularly interesting as well as the coverage of the varied activities associated with the Palace in Sydenham. I then walked round the site which always makes an impression. The wire fencing may be necessary but is unsightly. Some information boards would be an asset.

Cosy little Museum. Open only on Sundays. Visiting it's totally worthy if you're passionate about Crystal Palace history. Lots of information panels and amazing model. You'll discover many hidden and forgotten details

Tiny, volunteer run museum that nevertheless delivers. I had researched Crystal Palace quite a bit online before I visited and yet I learned so much more at this museum. Don't expect a tremendous selection of artefacts but the photographs, mementos, and information supplied are enough on their own. They also run guided tours of the Crystal Palace park for £5 per person, which offers a tremendous look into the history of the place.
