Great coffee and locally produced food in our café and fantastic gifts from our museum shop
A unique venue for conferences and events at the heart of Southampton’s Old Town.
El edificio de la casa museo está muy bien conservado, la entrada 6 £.por persona, tiene cafetería, lo que me pareció poco cuidado fue el jardín
Vicky UtrillaIf you’re visiting Southampton this place is good for some historical interest. It’s a mix of different centuries all in one. From medieval times to Georgian and Victorian. Well worth a visit for locals and visitors. It’s compact and can be walked around in about an hour. Lots of different articles throughout the centuries as is on two floors with a garden. It has a small café inside too. There are restrooms for all with disabled facilities. It’s got a guide in most rooms for additional information. It’s relatively inexpensive to get in and I thought it was very interesting.
Kev BillingtonI visited the cafe today and sat outside in the Tudor garden to make the mist of the sunshine. Excellent service with freshly prepared food. I definitely recommend. If just visiting the cafe you do not need to pay the entrance fee, but the museum is certainly worth a visit, if you have time. I recommend taking the audio tour, at no extra cost, so you can learn the history of the different parts of the house from the previous occupants. Very cleverly executed, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Jan PlumbExcellent cafe with yummy cakes.

Raul Osvaldo CoronelInteresting to get a perspective on the history. Heard it used to be better with more authentic furnishings throughout the facility. For the price is a good deal and entertaining.
Liliana FulfrostGood place to visit
Marc BrewerThoroughly enjoyed The Titanic experience but felt there were parts of the story missing and the sinking happened quite suddenly. That said, the various interactive experiences were good fun.
Annette CarruthersThis place shows a lot of history about Southampton since the Roman came (48AD), they tell story before and after the Titanic sank, if you love history, this is a must place to visit while you’re in Southampton!
Zaim Fathullah RaisVery nice location and staff, ghost stories was fun and engaging.
Fran CastleyAn interesting Tudor house, full of displays throughout the time period. Nice garden and cafe area. There is a short theatrical introduction to the house, that was very well done. Would imagine it would go down well, for all ages. Surprisingly good disabled access. Was incorporated into a major refurbishment, completed around ten years. Quite an interesting video details this.
Thomas BerwickFantastic museum, enjoyed all the displays, even the toilets were interesting! Staff very friendly and approachable. Highly recommend a visit.
A BSouthampton has been essential due to the strategic positions of their harbour. Titanic is an integral part of Southampton history. I think this museum is interesting and tells the story of White Star, the company that owned and got the Titanic built, and about important figures on the boat and the less important. The Museum is very small, though.

João ViegasThe tudor house is a 15th century style house that rose to its prominence because of the great hall it has together with the walls. It has had quite a few restorations in the past with a lot still going on especially because of its 15 tonn roof made out of heavy logs of wood hence the tilt that can be seen from outside. Its a good tourist spot to visit at Southhampton.
ELVIS JOJAWhat a spectacular Titanic history experience! Learned so much and its made so well, especially court room, and exhibition is full of interaction pieces, for example you can rule the ship or put coil in stoves to keep engines working. Loved the old playing machines from 1930s
Olga SulIt was truly an immersive and a wonderful experience. Plan ahead and spend an entire day wandering the walls of the rich Southampton history which includes – The titanic experience, History of early settlers in Southampton and Southampton’s contribution to some of the greatest historical events. You will definitely not regret this experience. There are also fun games you can indulge in and even get your fortune read by a gypsy! It’s super fun!!
