Blists Hill is an open air museum operated by the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust, built on a former industrial complex located in the Madeley area of Telford, Shropshire. The museum recreates the sights, sounds and smells of a Victorian Shropshire town in the late 19th century and early 20th century. There are similar museums in many parts of the UK including the Beamish Museum in the North East, the Museum of Kent Life and the Weald and Downland in the South East and the Ryedale Folk Museum in Yorkshire. There are more but not that I've been to yet. This and the Beamish are limited to one period of history but both do that very well.
