Museum of Dogs
Go on a slow afternoon when you want something small and specific rather than another big-name gallery. It's two floors of dog stories — owner-submitted tales, presidential pets, a short-film cinema — treasure hunt included if kids are along. Dog owners and anyone missing a dog will feel most at home here, and yes, you can bring yours; there's water and treats at the door. Unusual bit: it's the only museum of its kind anywhere, and the whole thing runs on submitted stories rather than curated artefacts, so it changes as people add to it. Worth knowing beforehand: it's compact, done in under an hour, so pair it with something else in Gardens rather than building a whole afternoon around it.

Small museum — an hour covers it, so combine it with a walk or coffee nearby rather than making it the day's main event.
