A sweet museum that tells you with wax statues and information how life was for regular people from 1700s and up today

Wonderful little free museum with stories about life in Edinburgh from the 17th century to the 80s. The scenes were interesting, especially in the upper floor, where they break down how many people were in different types of professions across the years.

Interesting place telling a lot about living in Edinburgh through the ages. Mostly about workers' unions, but everyone will find something interesting.Free of charge entry.

Very interesting, cozy and expressive place. A must go for anthropology, politics or social science lovers. Holds a lots of historical knowledge and few activities across.

This was a fascinating museum to visit, with two floors that can easily be navigated around using the signs. Exhibits show the history of the working class in Edinburgh and their conditions, including models, artefacts and images, while the toilets were kept fully clean!

The way it looks seem like it might be one of the prominent museum in the town that offers the old-fashion atmosphere. You could feel it through the air. All those often devastating history of the people of the city, is present quite strongly somehow. The layout that defines the museum into levels are typical in the town. The mannequin... I don't know, sometimes it feels so intimidating in a sense

Definitivamente no es un imprescindible si visitas Edimburgo, pero esta bien verlo si te sobra el tiempo, ya que es gratis (acepta donaciones) y cuenta cosas interesantes de como vivía la gente en Edimburgo a lo largo de la historia. Por ejemplo, me sorprendió ver qué hasta 1978 no se aprobó un acta que regulara las condiciones mínimas de habitabilidad de las viviendas. Es muy visual y Se ve rápido
