Unusual Museums

The Runciman Toy Museum

A fascinating collection of dolls, soft toys, rocking horses, model soldiers and specially made musical
instruments, including a tiny grand piano (which the guide assured me made ‘a very sweet sound’). My
daughter was delighted by the doll’s house (which was lent to the museum by Princess Alice) with its
beautifully made furniture. But the star exhibit, the thing that everyone wants to see, is the 100-year-old model
railway, its painted steam locomotives in good working order. It was given to the museum by the Duke of
Corsham (along with a lot of cash!) in order for the public not to have to pay to see it. Which was good luck for
us!

The Erdingford Museum of Money

You may not love money, but you’ll certainly find the history of it fascinating. Three thousand years ago
the Chinese used tools as money and then, gradually, they started to exchange little models of those tools
instead. In 18th century Canada, soldiers were paid in playing cards, each of which was given a certain value
and signed by the governor of the country. The Erdingford Museum is full of curiosities like these. You can see
coins and banknotes so rare and valuable they have to be kept behind thick unbreakable glass. And, in contrast,
there are famous forgeries – false notes and coins – that are worth nothing at all, except of course for their
historical value. What the museum doesn’t have, I’m glad to say, is any plastic credit cards!
