Comment from the ACE judges – “We were absolutely bowled over by this museum and shop.  The transformation from pre-refurbishment to now is amazing.  Everyone plays their part to make it a success and you feel their teamwork, passion and commitment as soon as you arrive.  With an almost non-existent budget, the team have been inspiringly creative and it’s these small touches that make it a huge success.”
