Advantages: Lots of history, free
Disadvantages: Closed in Winter, and Mondays during Summer

...Room on the upper floor is dedicated to Art and in particular Paintings. I did walk through this Room but to be honest found the other areas of the Museum to be of a greater personal interest. Finally on the upper floors there are also some toilets, including ones that are fully equipped for disabled access. I really enjoyed my visit to this Museum and found it to be an excellent place to gain further knowledge of a town that I thought I already knew a lot about. This Museum is closed during the Winter. It is open from Easter to the end of September as below: Mondays - closed Tuesday - 9.30 am to 5.30pm Wednesday - 9.30 am to 5.30pm Thursday - 9.30 am to 5.30pm Friday - 9.30 am to 5.30pm Saturday - 9.30am to 5pm Sunday - 10.30am - 5pm Bank Holidays -10.30am - 5pm The address is as below: Buxton Museum & Art Gallery...
