Excellent museum with great content regarding the bubonic plague that came here in the 17th century. The displays detailing the plague are in chronological order and full of information, displayed on tall boards, they are easy to understand for children and adults alike. Admission was £4.50( I wasn't aware of any concessions) with the option of a map of Eyam village for £1,

Fantastic museum dedicated to Eyam and the memory of those very brave residents who quite clearly sacrificed themselves as a village to save others A wholly selfless act by the community during the plague. Total respect to the curators and staff for this museum and for keeping alive the memories of those poor lost souls

It was a great informative museum, my only frustration is we went when it was busy and we had to wait for everyone to read the boards before moving on. Some were quicker than others but having little children made the wait ia little unbearable at times. The museum was great for adults and it's only a short 2min walk from the carpark. If you do go to Eyam, park at the top car park, it's free and isn't really very far to walk v's the paid car park.

Lovely little museum with so much information and original artefacts. Due to the size of the museum it can get very cramped (which is pointed out on the website). At the time we were there a bunch of children arrived and it became very noisy. We couldn't hear the stories on the TV screens or take in any information. Obviously this wasn't down to the museum itself just bad timing. The staff were very friendly and informative which was really good. There is a lovely gift shop at the end with very reasonable pricing.

Great small museum. Lots of information panels so that you learn a lot. Upstairs they have special exhibitions. This is great for information, it is small but they pack a lot in.

Interesting museum. My daughter especially enjoyed it, there is a quiz for the kids so she remembers a lot more from the visit. Pleasant staff. I would highly recommend.
