Can I come with kids ?!? I have a very interested young boy (7years) who would like to visit . And the second is 1 year . And how much is ticket ?
A:
To be honest I’m not sure there is enough to interest young children as it’s not really made with children in mind. If your 7 year old knows what is there and is really keen to visit …

To be honest I’m not sure there is enough to interest young children as it’s not really made with children in mind. If your 7 year old knows what is there and is really keen to visit then I would say go ahead, but it probably won’t take you long to go round.

Q:
How long roughly to see the House and the Pre R. exhibition. I'm disabled not in a wheel chair but would need to sit at times. Thank you.

Take your time. And talk to the syaff and other visitors. There is so much to enjoy even omitting the garden, so expect to wish you had a full hour.

Q:
We have never been to London, and will be there only a short time. Is this Museum far from the Tate Britain and the Albert & Victoria Museums? Please forgive any incorrectness in the names -- I am going from memory. We are stopping in London primarily to see the pre-Raphaelite art. Thank you in advance!

The major art galleries may be a better option if you have limited time available. E travelled by tube rather than bus and it was a good 15/20 minutes walk from the nearest tube. Have you considered Birmingham City Art Gallery? One hour twenty minutes by train from central London, and trains every 20/30 minutes during daytime. This gallery has the most important collection of Pre Raphaelite art worldwide. 3000 items, although only a small proportion on show at any one time. Check out their website. Enjoy the trip!
