There was one in Forest Hill called the Horniman Museum. It had shrunken heads, which were dead cool when I was a kid

Castle Museum in York is pretty good, although they keep closing bits of it down for renovation.

Oh I couldn't choose just one....

Went to the National Museum of Scotland with a friend just before Christmas and we got kicked out at closing time....had been there almost 6 hours and hadn't managed to get round all of it

All was not lost though....we went to the pub

I love Scotland Street School in Glasgow - old primary school with building designed by Charles Rennie Macintosh fabulous building and very nostalgic seeing old wooden desks and ink wells

Yeah it is, although I think it's now called the emergency services museum because it's expanded. Good fun though, it's (partly) set inside an old police station so you can go inside some of the old cells

Yeah it was a shock to see it, he never spoke about his experiences but what I understand he saw a few friends shot by the Nazi's. He hated anything German after the war but I never met such a warm, loving man in my whole life apart from my dad.

I do hope you have all signed the petition to keep the diplodocus in the entrance hall of the natural history museum. That made a big impact on me when I first saw it from about 3' tall eyes.

Chamber street museum in Edinburgh is amazing.

But they are in the middle of refurbishing a lot of it so lots of things you can't see at the moment. They had a great section for Ancient Egypt but it's all closed off. Buildings beautiful & can't wait until it's all open again.

The Pitt-Rivers in Oxford has shrunken heads too! It's like a load of people came back from their jaunts to strange places with all kinds of oddities as souvenirs and they just got jumbled together anyhow into cabinets. It's a great mumuseum, especially with children because of the slightly gruesome element!

The John Soames museum is great too, especially if you're interested in ancient rome or have been to any if the major roman sites.

I spent a fabulous day at Batemans, Rudyard Kiplings house which is national Trust. I love my national Trust membership because you get to see the whole picture, objects in their place and you get to see how all the inhabitants of the property lived, not just the fancy bits.

The Pitt-Rivers is one of the only (the only?) museums left in the UK that follows a layout that subscribes to Social Darwinism. It's been purposely left that way so that people now can see how we thought of other races and nations in the past.

It's fascinating to visit it in the same day as the Ashmolean in Oxford - which has a very contemporary way of curating that is much more recognisable to us.

My favourite museum is the Tate Modern. Although I went to New York last week and MoMA and The Met were both pretty incredible - and fascinating to see how Americans view the world.

Just around the corner

The Design Museum in Copenhagen is worth a visit to see how everyday objects have evolved over the last century or so.

I can't believe no one (okay, none of the blokes) have mentioned the Tank Museum in Dorset.

For historic houses, my favourites are Clouds Hill: TE Lawrence's cottage near Bovington (and the Tank Museum ), and Castle Drogo, Edwyn Lutyens' early 20th century masterpiece.

Highland folk museum, Newtonmore is great. Very like Beamish, that someone mentioned, same basic idea. Take old buildings, dismantle them and rebuild them all in one place. Best bit of all is its FREE. Who says we Scots are tight?

Covers a two mile site and has folk there in period dress to tell you how they used to live from the 18thc up to the 50s/ 60s.

"I love a good museums I love finding out new things etc. What is your favourite museum? I love the Victoria and Albert museum, natural history museum and the imperial war museum and the science museum. "

Not sure of the name but it was one of the sex museums in Amsterdam next to the train station. Can't fail to be impressed by a 7 ft penis. Always wanted to go to the museum of the moving image in London but they shut it

As I said, it charts our rise to greatness!

After all it was our sailors and their ships that built our empire and brought the bounty home!

The Natural History Museum, but my favourite (because I'm such a geek) is the Science Museum. You'll find me in the Bubble Show, front row

"There was one in Forest Hill called the Horniman Museum. It had shrunken heads, which were dead cool when I was a kid"

One of my favourites: that's where I had my first date with my other half. The gardens are lovely too.

There's always the National Media Museum in Bradford.

(As an oldish fart, I wish it was still called the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television).

"The Vatican museum is a must if you visit Rome. X

We are going in April

Go to the Borgese museum as well, however you only have two hour time slots to go round it and no photography is allowed. X "
We are off to Rome for a long weekend .. I am told loads of things to see . I am sure it will be lovely.

"Lived in Black Country for first 39yrs of my life and have never been to the Black Country Museum.

It's a "living" museum and many say it's the best museum in the UK.

Will have to get there soon

Aww when you do I'll meet you for a pint "

It's a deal

"Oh I couldn't choose just one....

Went to the National Museum of Scotland with a friend just before Christmas and we got kicked out at closing time....had been there almost 6 hours and hadn't managed to get round all of it

All was not lost though....we went to the pub

I love Scotland Street School in Glasgow - old primary school with building designed by Charles Rennie Macintosh fabulous building and very nostalgic seeing old wooden desks and ink wells "
Yes I can remember haveing a few desks Like that at school along with the Ink wells..

"Museum in Cairo. It has a Mummy room, where they are on display. It's amazing seeing the skeletons with eyelashes, nails, hair etc.

Oh I went to that years ago I forgot about that one. I also went to a holicaust museum in Israel and I saw my granddad name on a plaque there as he used to take the danish Jews to Sweden on the blue boats during the second world war

That would be both heartbreaking but also inspirational

Yeah it was a shock to see it, he never spoke about his experiences but what I understand he saw a few friends shot by the Nazi's. He hated anything German after the war but I never met such a warm, loving man in my whole life apart from my dad. "

Any one been to Auschwitz?

I need to go. Father was pow there.

London is blessed having so many excellent (free) museums. I also live just down the road from Duxford, which is excellent.

My job takes me to some fantastic places. This year I've been to the Aquarium, and MIT and Science Museums in Boston, The Natural History and 911 Museums in New York, The Gaudi Park and House in Barcelona, Sex Museum and Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Popov Museum and a military exhibition in Ekaterinburg and the Fortress in Vladivostok!

For me this year it's going to be magna carta, so the British Library, Salisbury Cathedral. In fact the British Library is one of my favourites.

For something eclectic has anyone else been to the Pitt Rivers museum in Oxford.
