The Ragged School Museum in London is a museum in London where you can step back in time to Victorian-era education. Dr. Barnardo opened this school in 1877 and for 30 years, it helped the poorest kids in the Victorian East End. Now, you can visit their restored classrooms, equipped with authentic and well-used school desks, slate writing boards and chalks, blackboards and easels and even dunce hats. They have also reconstructed a domestic kitchen, as it would have been in the year 1900, complete with utensils and artefacts for visitors to handle. They also have the Ragged Café by the canal where you can grab a bite to eat.
