Museum Of Gloucester

This museum is spectacular they always have some kind of attraction. I went when they had an exhibit for famous robots from various movies and television shows. Bring the kids and bring the family everyone will have a blast. They even do tours of the underground roman ruins with a guide who dresses up as one of the roman soldiers. I'm looking forward to seeing the new dinosaurs exhibit in a few days!

Small Museum, Free Entry but has some paid exhibitions, a nice variety of local artifacts, centrally located a nice way to spend a few hours worth checking the website cos it has lots for the kids to do in holidays

Free entry. Reasonable inventory. Verious child focused interactive activities. Local history. Dinosaur dioramas and Roman archaeology.
This month Includes a rather lackluster "Feature Exhibition" at £5 entry about "puppetry" (string puppets in glass cases. No sound or motion. Sadly unengaging).

We took a 7 year old boy 5yr ,3 Yr ,and a 1Yr girls all of them really enjoyed it. The museum is very child friendly with a few animal costumes to dress up in, dinosaurs to play and colouring and a little play corner with bricks etc. Lots of fossils and interesting things to see. We also saw the titanic display which the two older ones were very interested in and asked many sensible questions . A good day out .Thank you Gloucester museum

A lovely local museum. It is free to enter and view all the local history. It is very well curated, taking you from the Jurassic period, when Gloucester was under water, through the Roman and medieval periods up to the modern day city. They also have exhibitions for which there is a £4.95 charge. There was plenty to see for free - though it would be worth paying if you didn't remember life in the 80s too well. There is a self service cafe and a small museum shop.

I've been coming here, on and off, all my life and it never ceases to entertain and educate on each visit.

The exhibits cover the history going back to prehistoric times. The modern era tends to be represented in the ever changing exhibitions on the first floor.

Highlights (for me at least) are world's oldest complete backgammon set and the amazing Celtic Bronze mirror. I do wish that the mirror was displayed better as it's set up high and not in the best light.

The staff do an amazing job with information and explanations. Get a guided tour if you can. Definitely call ahead to find out when there are tours of the underground Roman remains and views of the workshops.

Glad to know about Gloucestershire history and different cultures adapted from the history
Polite and helpful staff

My 3, 6 & 8 year old all love it here, they would very happily come every week!
