The UK is home to some of the best museums in the world, from awe-inspiring natural history collections, to fun and interactive exhibitions. Here's a round-up of must-visit museums that will keep everyone happy.
Beamish
This living, working museum shows what life was like in North-east England in the 1820s, early 1900s and 1940s. The buildings give a true sense of history. Museum workers are dressed up in period costume, so you'll really feel like you've stepped back in time. You can even buy bread from the 1900s bakery, have a drink in the traditional pub or treat yourself in the old-fashioned sweet shop.
National Justice Museum
The National Justice Museum covers the past and present of law and justice in the UK. During your visit, you'll encounter various historical characters, watch a recreation of a famous court trial, learn about prison reform, and — if you're brave enough — join one of the chilling ghost tours.
Natural History Museum
This iconic London museum has drawn huge crowds for more than 130 years. Inside the famous red-brick building, you'll discover hundreds of fascinating exhibits, including dinosaur skeletons and fossils, a mind-blowing blue whale skeleton, and the Darwin Centre, where you can see hundreds of specimens and hear talks from scientists-and it's free to get in.
The Mary Rose Museum
You'll find The Mary Rose Museum at the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, where instead of simply learning the story of Henry VIII's famous ship, which sank in 1545, you'll stand just feet from it. The Mary Rose was raised from the depths of the Solent in 1982 and has been painstakingly conserved for future generations. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows and air-locked viewing balcony give you the chance to see a 16th century warship like never before.
