Hi,

Living is SE London, as I do, I have never heard of this museum, but he entry makes it sound interesting. I might even go there one day.

I would suggest putting the last paragraph nearer to beginning. For me, that seems to make more sense and the free entry stuff is a selling point, I think.

You say the museum is suitable for children. From what age?

If I was writing this, I might have put the stuff about Kate Winslett etc. as a footnote, but you're free to ignore this. By the way, do you thing everyone will know who she is?

Yes, I think Kate Winslett is definitely better off in the footnotes. The entry reads better now in my opinion.

I like footnotes where you can read them and they make sense on their own, without the tedious to-ing and fro-ing you sometimes get with footnotes. Yours are like this and they are very jolly. ok

Another small suggestion - again, you're free to disagree with me - the reference to the Researcher in the body of the text jars very slightly. Might you consider amending it either to 'one is reminded of' or 'one is transported to' - 'or 'you are' if you don't like 'one'.
