Michelle Morgan:

"Wonderfully preserved historic home that’s worth a visit. The tour of the house starts on the third floor. It begins in the 20th century and works you back to the 16th. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Interactive as well, so they encourage you to get into everything. There’s a cafe on the ground floor is you fancy it."

"An interesting way to know about our city. From Nobel's house to merchandising till the city decayed. The Trust had put great effort on restoration and demonstrates the way of living in the city back to the 16th century."

"Can’t not praise the curation and staff enough for our fantastic experience touring the building. Every room we walked into we were greeting promptly by the guide, told a story and then talked with each one for 20 minutes about all the cool artifacts and furniture. Everyone was so nice and knowledgeable. Highly recommend."

"Spread over 3 floors, this 17th century tenement was very interesting. A guide on each floor. The lower floor also includes a small cafe. Unfortunately wheelchair access is not available."
