Real improvement on the old museum in Preston. Its modern and also interactive which helps keep the younger generation engaged. Quite in depth on the history of football and all its aspects. Well worth a visit for anyone with an interest in the sport. Its free too and i found refreshments in the cafe to be fairly priced too.
