This newly reopened museum was still waiting for its cafe to open when I visited in April 2008, but when it does open it will serve organic dishes and have free WiFi available.

I would suggest it's worth stopping off here just to see the shop -- The Shop @ FTM -- which is a fantastic showcase for up and coming designers. I think it would a great place to shop for unique gifts.

Future exhibitions will include more fashion and textiles and that's what I'm looking forward to seeing here. I'll be back.
