It's been a while since I published a Freaky Friday post, but we recently went to Milton Keynes Museum again and I had to share these beauties with you.
Don't have nightmares...

Reasons to Love Living in Milton Keynes #7: Milton Keynes Museum
Milton Keynes may be a new city* but it was made up of several existing Buckinghamshire towns and many villages and hamlets. Make no mistake, there is history here. There is plenty to fill a local museum. Milton Keynes encompasses a Roman Road (Watling Street), the Grand Union canal and a Victorian railway line.
The main exhibits in Milton Keynes Museum relate to farming, transport and life in Victorian and Edwardian times. There is also a fantastic new communication exhibit where all of the telephones are connected and in working order. There's even a police call box, but sadly it's not bigger on the inside.
Presley, 5, and Cash, 4, loved the Victorian school
They also enjoyed making some toast over an open fire with the enthusiastic museum guides
We all enjoyed exhibits we could touch
I was glad some things were behind glass
The museum is situated on a farm and the exhibits are in both the farm house and outbuildings. There is plenty of room for children to run around outside and the obligatory tea room and shop. We spent a happy half-day there and will be going back.
