The museums of this country become more varied and exciting with every year that passes but there has not been a comprehensive guidebook for their millions of visitors. The Cambridge Guide to the Museums of Britain and Ireland fills this gap. It contains detailed and authoritative entries on 2,200 museums, both famous and little known, from the British Museum and National Gallery in London to the Museum of Cider in Hereford, the Shoe Museum in Street, and the Laurel and Hardy Museum at Ulverston in the Lake District. Toys or tanks, tapestry or tobacco, technology or the theatre, the museums you want to visit are in this book.
