“We had a brief but wonderful visit to Tullie. All, and I mean all of the staff and volunteers were amazing, Informative and really helpful. Thanks to all who made our visit special. We didn't get the opportunity to visit everything but we will be back.”

“A crackingly good museum with a mixture of local and national displays. The interior is arranged to ceate an experience, not just gazing into display cabinets. [...] We still haven't seen it all. We'll be back.”

“Very cheap to get in & ticket lasts the whole year; art to local history & artefacts. We just happened to visit when excellent regional artists were exhibiting. Husband accidentally went into cave meant to be for children - we are grown adults & we had fun.”
