Gloucester City Museum & Art Gallery

Gloucester City Museum & Art Gallery

Over the last few years Gloucester City Museum and Art Gallery has undergone extensive renovations due to a large grant from the heritage lottery fund, and investment from the Gloucester City Council. As a result the museum now has a brand new Café – Café Nerva, the fantastic City Museum shop, and a lively program of talks, exhibitions, crafts, workshops and events throughout the year.

The brand new permanent displays include the story of Gloucester through the ages, walk through Mediaeval streets, learn the story of the Birdlip lady, and keep the kids entertained with lots of hands-on activities to do throughout your stay.

From 2013 the museum will also be hosting children's birthday parties and the Museum Detectives - a brand new club for children will be starting during the summer. With behind the scenes tours, talks with some of the most influential historians in the country and a variety of hands-on permanent displays, the City Museum is a hive of activity and a definite must if you're making a visit to Gloucester.
