First of all, the title of this museum should not be «The Herschel Museum of Astronomy». Instead, it should just be «The Herschel Museum» because the content had little to nothing to do with astronomy and more to do with the life of William Herschel. NOTES: ~ First off, I should note that I am an avid lover of astronomy especially since I studied science myself in university. I am highly fascinated with astronomy as well as history. This is just to note that I am not looking through the lens of an uneducated person who«just doesn’t get it» so don’t write me off. ~ 6 pounds entry fee for adults. This museum, at first glance, was dodgy as hell. You ring the doorbell and a man dressed in plain clothes opens the door and lets you in. Then he tells you to pay and go to the dark and dingy basement to watch a video. WHAT. THE. FUCK? However, the video shown on a tiny tv set(placed upon a basic table with white dining tablecloth over it no less) had more content than anything else in the museum. Narrated by Sir Patrick Moore, it told the life of William Herschel and his sister who designed powerful telescopes unprecedented at the time. The video was very interesting unlike the rest of the museum or should I say dodgy house. Customer Service: The employees here made 0 effort in being engaging. You have the young university-age hipster looking woman running the cash register, and the dodgy man who opened the door for us talking to her. Don’t bother them with any questions, they won’t answer them, nor will they give you any interesting tidbits. In fact, it is quite safe to say that aside from opening doors and running cash registers these people have absolutely no idea what they’re doing. Content: The most interesting thing about the museum is that it is set in William Herschel’s actual home. The second most interesting thing is looking at the old clothes of his sister because they were incredibly petite. You know there’s something wrong when someone’s size becomes the #2 most interesting thing in a museum. Like I said, this museum has nearly nothing about astronomy and more content on William Herschel’s life. They set up his music room and dining room as well as some old copies of his journals and his old traveling trunk, but aside from pocket astrolabes there was absolutely fuck all on astronomy. Aside from a telescope and astrolabe, there was in fact nothing at all. Not even much on his discovery of Uranus or information about the planet. It feels like his achievements and love for astronomy has put on the backburner, but the neat-o preserved house is at the forefront. History museum? Yes. Astronomy museum? Fuck no.
