Reviews
This is definitely worth a visit. The layout, displays and explanatory notes are really good. There is no pressure to move on and you can freely move around at a leisurely pace. Haworth itself is charming, quaint and picturesque.
As a longtime fan of Charlottes Brontë, especially, I was excited for the opportunity to see the home in which she spent her life. They’ve done a good job displaying important items from all the family members, and one gets some idea of what life was like for them. I get the sense more is known about the family than can easily be displayed; I’m keen to explore a little deeper.
For a small place, this really holds a LOT of history, stories, objects, etc. It was immersion, informative & we thoroughly enjoyed it. There is a car park outside. I recommend taking cash in £1 and 50p if you can. There is an app to pay online but it was fidly. Your tickets to the museum will also grant you access for 12 months.
The jewel in the crown of Haworth. This small but perfectly formed museum showcases a reverent glimpse into the day to day lives of celebrated authors Ann, Emily and Charlotte Brontë, (and their family).
It is run by a dedicated team of welcoming people, who quietly give you space to view, contemplate and learn while walking the same hallways as the Brontë family would have walked. If you admire the work of the Brontës, come to Haworth. Visit the Parsonage and take a stroll down Main Street, hike across the moors or ride a steam train. There really is no better place, (but I’m possibly biased)!
A group of six friends visited this fascinating house/museum. The written explanations were very clear and the curators there were really welcoming and well informed. Jenna, in particular, was very immersed in, and informed about, the lives and writings of these famous sisters through her masters study of Emily Brontë. The printed timeline about the family was very helpful as background context. The gift shop was good too and we bought a DVD called "To Walk Invisible: The Lives of the Brontë Sisters". This was a film telling the story of the whole family. The film, the curators and the house/museum layout itself really brought the family to life. This is a tourist attraction and I was impressed that there were printed descriptions of each room in various languages. It is worth also looking at the former gap in the wall at the bottom of the garden (now with an engraved slab) showing where the family walked down to the church, as well as the Old School House nearby. We spent an hour and a half in the museum, because we were really interested in it and spoke to the curators. The short lives of these young writers were truly remarkable. Highly recommended.
