A bit like rooting around your grandma's attic

Literally bursting with quirky exhibitions and interesting facts from Bristol's history. Yes, the exhibitions don't seem to be in much of an order but the randomness was one of the things I liked best about it - it felt a bit like rooting around your grandma's attic and finding a few treasures among the clutter. I found the Bristol slavery exhibition very moving and loved the section on vintage fashion. Plus, my six-year-old niece loved finding her house on the enormous map painted on the bottom floor. Not the best museum I've visited, but a nice way to while away an hour or two.

    Awful

       

    This is a terrible museum. The exhibits make little logcalsense, are poorly explained, very little of Bristol industrial heritage is evident. A poor effort. Those responsible should be ashamed

    Dreadful waste of £27 million

       

    The building isn't used as an exhibit, once through the doors you could be anywhere at all, the exhibits appear to have been thrown at the galleries and nothing makes any sense. It condescends and the photographs and paintings of the great and the good are entirely out of place.
    Bristol appears to have had no industrial past whatsoever, try the docklands museum in London for an idea of what this might have been.

    Dreadful, pointless and vacuous
