See the glowing Pre-Raphaelite paintings and the gold of the Staffordshire Hoard, the biggest Anglo-Saxon treasure ever found, in the grand museum under the clock tower.
Why it's a good date: Much of the building is still being restored, but what's open is free and well worth an hour. Finish with tea in the old Edwardian tearoom.
