Bristol Museum & Art Gallery

"A really good morning out. Took my 9-year-old into Bristol (park at West Gate Street) to check it out and he loved the Egyptian, dinosaur and animal exhibits and took interest in the others and at gallery. It is a grandiose building, with since impressive architecture and history, and certainly bigger than you might think from the outside. When you get to the upper levels there are several rooms that aren't obvious from the ground floor. The café is reasonably priced and of course the museum is free (donations welcomed). If I were to offer one peace of constructive feedback it'd be to run something like a quiz/treasure hunt to keep the kids engaged (it's possible this exists and we missed it though)."

"Excellent and free city museum. The building itself is absolutely beautiful. A prime example of Victorian era architecture. Set over several floors this has something for everyone. The fine arts collection is impressive with some notable artists on display which gives a sense of grandeur. The Japanese porcelain collection is worth a look too. If you like history the Egyptian exhibition is excellent, informative and interesting. Quite impressive for a smaller UK city. There are also dinosaur fossils on display as well as a prehistoric section. The standout has to the replica airplane hanging from the ceiling. Quite a sight! A great way to spend an hour or two"

"Art & Historical museum that is well diverse. It's been well maintained with a lot of descriptions to keep you entertained. Would recommend to those who enjoy reading and have the time to appreciate the exhibits. Overall, 8/10. Note: You should book tickets beforehand for quicker entry. It's free."

"Came for the Grayson Perry exhibition which was excellent. We had never been to the museum before and had a lovely time wandering around looking at all the exhibits. There is a wide range of different art styles and exhibits on display with lots of interesting local history too! Very extensive collection of taxidermy animals. We bought tickets in advance online and did not have to wait long to get in."
