Museum of Work & Culture

Spent an hour here with my 4 year old daughter and she enjoyed herself. Although we moved through some of the displays quicker than the anticipated time Ie we didnt watch the whole movie in a few rooms we still enjoyed ourselves and didnt feel out of place. There are coloring pages on the first floor and a few interactive displays. We had a free pass from our library so our visit was free.

Very small but very well done. LOVED the Catholic school exhibit. Took me back to my 12 yrs of Catholic school. Clean and comfortable.

Such a fun little museum It does a surprisingly good job telling the story of Woonsocket through a mix of mediums and exhibits and I enjoyed the recreations of rooms and places that you can walk into. I also strongly appreciated the option to listen to the audio guide in French given the French history and connections with this city.
