Museum Of Gloucester

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

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...

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).

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!
