The Heath Robinson Museum is for students of illustration, lovers of landscape paintings, advertising enthusiasts and academics, dads building contraptions in sheds, believers in fairies, children with time to dream, couples stuck in tiny flats, people who put holes in cheese, artificial teeth testers and anyone who's ever held something together with a bit of string.
He showed how people were living and he showed the mentality of people by gently - and sometimes subversively - poking fun at it. He had a lovely mockery towards modernism but at the same time enjoying the architecture and the way people lived. It's as powerful and important as looking at a history book or a novel or indeed looking at great paintings.
