Lonely Planet review

If you've ever wondered how art actually gets restored, you'll get your chance at this terrific centre, which is unconventionally housed in a converted railway good depot. Hand-held wands help tell the story of the processes involved, but the real fun is actually attempting a restoration technique with your own hands.

Sadly, our trembling paws weren't allowed near anything of value - that was left to the real experts, whose skills are pretty amazing.
