The permanent exhibits are very good for science (biology in particular) as well as history and local geography. The displays are exceptionally explained and contain rare artefacts. The temporary exhibit (Adventures in Time & Space) was also good for D&T/Art/English due to the media-centric and design-centric focus of the exhibit.
