It is a good place for those who want to fully understand the area and meet different species of animals in the world... not to mention that it is a very modern, clean and ideal space to visit from time to time, since it has 5 floors. Not to mention that admission is free, so it's ideal to go with a group of friends or family!

Bristol Museum & Art Gallery is a true cultural gem! Housed in a stunning Edwardian Baroque building, it offers an impressive array of exhibits—from ancient Egyptian mummies and Assyrian reliefs to dinosaur fossils and local wildlife displays. 😍😍. The art galleries feature works spanning centuries. What’s more, admission is free, making it an accessible and enriching experience for all. Whether you’re a history buff, art enthusiast, or just looking for a family-friendly outing, this museum is a must-visit in Bristol.

When you enter the Bristol Museum, it’s like you’ve stepped into another dimension, with regard to time, science and species of organisms both old and modern. Science section is so beautiful, then the photo gallery section too was amazing. What baffles my mind was the guy who keeps on climbing onto the ladder, reaches above and then drops down, picks himself up and drops again in different locations on the ground. Students learning about rocks and its mineral components can learn a lot when the take a field trip there.

Beautiful art, plenty of fossils and beautiful history to look to. Their gender exhibition was lovely too. The only thing that was kind of surprising was the fact that the museum closes at 5PM. I know the staff works hard and they're knowledgeable but I wish it was open a bit later, especially on the weekend. I feel like if they had a ticket price on entry, they might compensate a few more people's time to provide knowledge to the curious folk past 5PM. I'LL DEFINITELY COME BACK THOUGH!!!
