This grand Edwardian building at the top of Park Street is a treasure trove of over 200 years' worth of world-class collections. From dinosaurs to da Vinci, there’s something here for everyone – and best of all, it's free!
Fancy a journey through time? Start on the ground floor, where you can unearth the mysteries of ancient Egypt, get curious about archaeology, or explore the natural wonders of the region. Don't forget to say hello to Banksy’s iconic "Paint Pot Angel" along the way.
Climb to the first floor for a billion-year stroll through Earth's history in the geology galleries. Here, fossils reveal stories of creatures long extinct, while glittering minerals and gemstones dazzle the eye – including the famed Bristol Diamond. And yes, there’s even a dinosaur or two, including the impressive Scelidosaurus.
Whether you're an art aficionado, history buff, or just curious, there's always something new to discover at Bristol Museum & Art Gallery. And with special exhibitions and events popping up throughout the year, one visit just won't be enough.
Open Tuesday to Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm, it's a perfect day out for the whole family.
