Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery

Explore / United Kingdom / Bristol

Bristol Museum and Art Gallery is an outstanding museum and well worth visiting. It houses collections from all over the world.

Children love this museum as there are family friendly areas where they can listen to stories that come to live with puppets or a stage performance in a crystal cave or create their own dinosaur and listen to animal noises from all over the world.

There are great sights for adults from the wildlife galleries full of rare and endangered species to modern art and archaeology.

When you’re tired regroup in the cafe and enjoy a meal or a drink then head up to the second floor for some of the latest exhibitions on offer from French art to Bristol’s own 200-year-old silver collection or a stunning display of Eastern Art.

Facilities include a cafe, toilets, loop system, events and shop.
