Interactive museum for kids with local history. The Old Grammar School of William Wilberforce and Andrew Marvell. Opens every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month.

Great museum for kids to actually get involved, sitting at victorian desks in a victorian classroom rather than the usual rope barrier and 'do not touch' signs. Then it's almost a polar opposite in the Egyptian exhibit upstairs with a real mummy. A bit spooky for the little ones, but it's really well presented. The final bit showing the way we've developed locally over the last century is equally as interesting, and incidentally seems to be exactly the same as I remember it when I visited the old grammar school museum (as it was called then!) as a child. I honestly don't think there's anywhere else around here that offers that variety, it's a real shame its open so infrequently.
Absolutely disgusted... wanted to buy some things from shop as the museum doesn't take cards we needed to get cash was told museum closed at 4pm we returned at 3.35pm and was told they were closed.. all I wanted was to buy thing which were put to one side they were so rude and said if chose to arrive when closed but clearly it wasn't 4pm will not be returning and will inform the council
Such a great, interactive place in Hull that helps to present the location in which it is found. It is in Old Town Hull, everyone that visits Hull should visit here to expand their knowledge and fascination of Hull and the surrounding area. Very close to the centre of Hull with only a five minute walk. The walk present the history and culture of this city. Hands on history museum is a go to place for any family in Hull or visiting Hull. It is further surrounded by pubs, restaurants and cafes, all with good food so it easy to fit into daily plans. Hull offers a variety of leisure activities for families with museums, art galleries, many place to wine and dine, cinemas, bowling, clothes shops and whatever you need. Should definitely visit this place. I have visited this with my family and children for the last 16 years and they’re still excited to go back an interact. Lovely place
Worth a visit to see some social history about Hull. Suitable for all ages.
Very much changed since visit some years previously
This is the place to go with children touch friendly, dress up clothes, do your own punch and Judy show have a go on the rocking horse then on on upstairs to see the mummy and see what it was like for your grandparents if you love history you will love this place
A small museum that shows how we once got educated and how we lived. Then move on to the Egyptians.
