Very friendly and helpful at information desk and diverse hot chocolate choice at indoor caf

Huge ugly building with hardly any of the space utilised - the "art" work was largely virtue signalling anti-brexit and "hug a migrant" drivel. I would recommend going if you need the toilet as the admission is free (if you don't count the fact that it cost 28m of tax money to build) and the facilities were good.

Popped in as it was cold in Colchester and fancied a look around. It was pretty quiet as you would expect. The people who work there were mostly sat around looking on their phones and didnt really interact with anyone. The place itself has plenty of exhibits, obviously it wont appeal to everyone for everything but it is interesting and entertaining enough. They ask for a 3 pound donation for entry, which seems fair enough, it's not really big enough to ask or justify more than that.

Great building. Knowledgeable friendly staff. Always something worth going to see.

Attended a conference here. First visit, and quite impressed. Nice coffee shop, interesting art gallery, and a superb auditorium space.
