The Museum of Classic Sci-Fi is a meticulously curated, small museum in Allendale, Northumberland, built inside the restored near derelict, 300 hundred year old cellar of the Grade II listed Osborne House. Inside you'll find costumes and props from the various cinematic adaptations of Marvel comics, original hand painted animation cels, and beautiful hand painted, original published artworks by Doctor Who illustrators. Neil has been rescuing, repairing and conserving neglected classic era Doctor Who monsters, each mounted on a bespoke wooden stand with researched plaques and video screens. It suits fans of science-fiction history and classic era Doctor Who. The museum sits within easy reach of other places to stay, with 14 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, and Haydon Bridge station is 5.4 miles away.
