Visiting the Micro Museum
The Micro Museum is next door to This Museum Is (Not) Obsolete, which has a similar theme relating to early technology and many people visit both museums. It is on the northern edge of Ramsgate’s town centre and most points of interest in Ramsgate are no more than a 5–10-minute walk from here.
The museum is open from April to late September and admission is £5.
