This small museum is housed in an 18th century residence and has four literary exhibitions every year. The current exhibit is – no surprise – “The Mysteries of Charles Dickens.” Of course, I had to see it.
The exhibit is by far the weakest among the recent ones I’ve seen, but it contains a lot of basic biographical information, detailing Dickens’s childhood, fascination with humanity and evolution as a writer. There are some interesting audio stations and an entertaining Oliver Twist clip. Many of the visuals were copies and/or not that interesting, but might be if you haven’t seen other exhibits.
The exhibit runs through 4 March 2012.
