Some really interesting things to look at, and a nice natural history section. Some things I had never seen before so they absolutely fascinated me, like the dolphin skull, and the hippopotamus tooth. A great little museum.

This is a free local museum with an eclectic mix of items relating to the Gloucester area and its history.

It's a quaint local museum which is well-maintained and contains quite an interesting array of artifacts. There are exhibitions ranging from natural history items (such as dinosaur teeth and claws) found on the landmass of present-day Gloucester, as well as man-made items from various historical periods. Staff were polite here, and the location of the museum is ideal. I saw people of all ages having fun, and the entire environment is very family-friendly.

Really interesting things to see but also really set up for children. Lots of activities for them.

Fascinating museum full of the history of Gloucester and surrounding areas. From the time of prehistoric times up to modern. If you are able, take a tour or two, underneath the city to the time of the Romans and medieval times. It's amazing what you walk over every day that predates our times, without even realising. The guide is fabulous, really knowledgeable and takes the time to explain the history and answer questions.

We went to the Museum of Gloucester today to see what it was all about. Fantastic experience the lady on the front counter was really nice and told Us where to go. We also noticed they had the Star Wars exhibition on as well. So that was fun. If you a fan of star-wars and history then this museum is great fun.
