Reviews
The museum was an amazing experience with so much to offer and see. The experience was unlike any other and so was the art gallery. From Pharoahs and ancient Egypt history, to sea creatures, to dinosaurs, to Chinese /Japanese ceramic art, to an actual art gallery it was a wonderful experience indeed. Staff members were very kind too.nnHighly recommend :
The museum had lots to offer with a wide range of exhibits and interactive elements. It’s a bit like the Tardis, it looks quite small upon first entry but it keeps going! We spent at least 2 hours in the museum. Perfect for a rainy day.nnEntry is free with a recommended donation fee but no obligation to do so. There is a cafe and gift shop with lots of options to buy/eat.
Bristol Museum and Art Gallery is honestly an amazing place to learn about history and culture. The building itself is beautiful and feels grand the moment you walk in. It has that classic museum atmosphere that instantly makes you slow down and take everything in.nnSeeing Alfred the gorilla in person was a real highlight. He truly feels like the goat of animals in the museum and there is something powerful about standing in front of him and realising how important he was to science and to Bristol itself. It is one of those exhibits that sticks with you long after you leave.nnThe Bristol Boxkite was another favourite. The level of detail is incredible and it is fascinating to see such an early piece of aviation history up close. Knowing it was built in Bristol makes it even more special and you can really appreciate the craftsmanship and ambition behind it.nnDoris the Pliosaurus was on another level. She is massive and slightly intimidating in the best way. The display does a great job of helping you understand just how dominant these creatures were and it feels like you are standing face to face with something from a completely different world.nnThe historic wagon was also brilliant. The design is stunning and it is easy to imagine how much work and skill went into building it. It gives a real sense of everyday life from another time and adds so much character to the gallery.nnThe Egyptian section was incredible as well. The artefacts are fascinating and the mummy coffins are beautifully detailed. There is something humbling about seeing items that have survived for thousands of years and the way they are presented makes you want to learn more rather than rush through.nnThey also have a cafe inside which is a nice touch. It is perfect for taking a break, sitting down with a drink and reflecting on everything you have seen before heading back around the galleries.nnOn top of all that the staff were great. Very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the museum which makes the experience even better. Overall this place deserves high praise and is easily one of the best cultural spots in Bristol and somewhere you can return to again and again.
I visited here in June 2025. It is a surprisingly large museum with a very eclectic mix of exhibits and galleries, ranging from early aviation. Dinosaurs, ancient Egyptian, pottery and paintings
Free entry - though I gave £5 wellnWorth it. Great art collection for a gallery this size. Good variety from French Impressionism to 15th religious artworks. Nice and quiet. Good lighting and great descriptions to accompany the work.
