Opera CreepAugust 8, 2014Some fantastic early renaissance paintings and also a strong 19thC British collection. Was impressed with how well looked after it looked. Free admission...you have no excuse not to visit.
Kazem EdmondNovember 25, 2016Maps of Bristol show how the incredible city has changed over the centuries. They're arranged in chronological order around the atrium's perimeter. They're definitely worth checking out.
Barry MurphyOctober 29, 2012Free Entry. The natural history museum is brilliant for children and adults. M Shed also free well worth a visit
Fjara ♡August 4, 2018Expansive wildlife collection and fascinating Egyptian section. Everything very informative and fits perfectly into a day trip.- ドーラDecember 31, 2011There is even a compact archaeological museum covering Assyrian and Egyption artefacts.There is an excellent cafe on the ground floor as well as a shop.
Free to enter and containing hundreds of exhibits, Bristol Museum is well worth a visit. The Banksy exhibition here in 2009 was developed in secrecy and with no PR, but gained worldwide notoriety.
Pearson - Always LearningMarch 27, 2014One of the few museums to have been awarded designated status by the government - the mark of an outstanding museum!
Nick DaviesOctober 8, 2015It's free, lots to see including a fantastic art collection. But be warned the cafe is a bit expensive.- ドーラDecember 31, 2011The variety of exhibits is large, including minerals and fossils, ceramics, glass and silverware, British and world wildlife, etc.
- John DawsonJanuary 9, 2010A grand building with an eclectic range of collections. Check out the temporary exhibitions - always something interesting. Plus entry to the museum is free, so you've no reason not to try it!
Jordi LlobetMay 19, 2015They have so much stuff but is quite small. The entrance is free though, and the hall is nice with the plane over there.
Julia WestonFebruary 6, 2012Check out the art collection right at the top of the museum. Some great 20th century works of art.
Rowan Kerek RobertsonFebruary 10, 2013A great old- style museum. A lovely free under 7s play area too.- ドーラDecember 31, 2011The art collections are well presented, covering Eastern, French, European and British art etc.
Great place to gather your thoughts during a busy day.

Danai FassouliOctober 31, 2017Not very rich but I found some amazing paintings that really moved me.
The Art from the New World exhibition is amazing. There until August 22nd!
Ashley GriffithsOctober 21, 2010The Bristol aircraft company exhibition seems to be a aimed more towards children. Should only take me about 30 minutes.
