The shop is awesome! It has a wide range of materials you can choose from! Truly a gem here in Abu Dhabj. Staff named Sweet is the sweetest of them all. She is very knowledgeable on paint and materials. Definitely coming back to this place for more art materials. Thank you!

Cozy shop with speciality paint and products- I talked through my vision of my project with the owner and he pointed me in the right direction. Never tried to upsell on things, but instead suggested ideas which Is important to me. Definitely will be visiting again.

This is my favorite art shop in Abu Dhabi!
Very cosy, great choice of paint and paste. They also do different classes.
The best place to buy shiny acrylic paint! Very big choice of modeling pastes! And they have good prices. Recommend

Got my new art supplies from Crafty Cottage. The staff were super nice and helpful, especially April. She was very accommodating. Would definitely come back here again.

Great variety, bit pricy but you will find anything related to crafts and collage supplies. Not great for oil and acrylic painters as they have smaller sizes meaning not economic sizes. Love their liquid acrylics colors (also sold in smaller sizes).

What an experience. I was not expecting an incredibly detailed guided tour that lasted over 2 hours. The wealth of knowledge and passion is amazing. There is so much to look at and take in, and it is like going into someone's private collection. As a railway fan I still learnt so much, and I think any established railway or engineering enthusiast would thoroughly enjoy this.

I had a lovely time at Coleford GWR Museum yesterday, looking at the exhibits and chatting with the staff there. I'm a volunteer at the Mid Hants Railway and they are both volunteers at the Dean Forest Railway, so it was interesting to compare notes on railway operations during the COVID-19 pandemic!
I'd love to give more stars, but I feel there's a lot of work to be done. The volunteers I chatted to are aware of this, so it's no discredit to them.
Given the fantastic location (both in terms of being so close to the town centre and being in such a wonderful original building), there's a great opportunity for a really accessible museum which tells the story of the railway and its relevance to the area to a wide audience.
What they actually have is unquestionably an impressive collection - both in terms of its size and variety -, but much of it is chiefly interesting if you already know what you're looking at and what was used for. So much more could - and should - be done to explain these items in accessible terms.
To transform this from a collection into a really good museum would, of course, be an enormous amount of work, and the volunteers here are obviously working with very limited resources. I hope they get some more volunteers and are able to keep heading in the right direction.
Thank-you for an enjoyable visit. Keep up the good work!

This museum was a breath a fresh air. In a 'virtual' world here is a real 'hands on' museum with real people who are happy to show you around an extensive collection of railway exhibits from a full size steam loco to a signal box where you can 'have a go' at operating the levers.. Really enjoyed our visit and the train ride was great to..

Small collection but a brilliant one

5 Dave Ludlow 24 months ago

Visited the Museum on Friday 9th Sep whilst on holiday, the volunteers are incredibly knowledgeable and we were given a tour of the workings of a steam engine, and of their signal box with hands-on demo. Many interesting items on display as well, so well worth a visit!

Visited this wonderful little museum today and had a great time! Staff/volunteers are absolutely lovely and are happy to give you a tour and answer any questions. Would definitely recommend. The train ride looked great for kids too!

Excellent local museum - and amazing volunteers. Learnt loads from a fantastic 15-minute summary of the principles of signalling in the beautiful restored signal box from an expert. Highly recommended.
