The Box

Neat little museum at the heart of Plymouth! 3 exhibitions currently with lots of info about the history and value of Plymouth through the years! The mammoth exhibition is particularly cool.

Great place to visit, plenty of interesting items to look at and a great place for kids 😀 cafe is a bit expensive but good food. Having to return as we couldn't see it all on the day. 🙂 Went to the box again to finish off where we went last time. Went to the top floor and it was fantastic 😊 lot's to see and the tapestries were brilliant, found all the hidden items in them. Great history around Plymouth would recommend the box 😁

It was the first time I'd visited Plymouth Museum since I was a child (I'm 60 now), so it was a surprise to see the changes. It's a lot smaller than it used to be, but the exhibitions are far more interactive than the boxes of artifacts that I remember from my childhood. It was full of families with engaged children; just what you want museums to encourage. The cafe was excellent too, and VERY busy.

This was a brilliant museum to visit, showcasing the history of Plymouth and its surrounding areas throughout centuries! The exhibits about ships are really interesting with displays of different ones that sailed from the city, particularly the one heading to the North Pole. Information is also shown about how people followed their career paths from Plymouth and model of the city's planning is well-crafted, creative imagery of outdoor areas is admirable itself too! Various cameras and their usage in theatres are delved into, television promotional aspects are revealed also. Artwork section is very creative with the likes of a pram holding up a twig with leaves, multi-headed women and a tree with unique branches off of it!

In this eautiful building from 1910 you can find an interesting " for all the family" exhibitions about Plymouth's history and prehistoric history, a small nature museum style exhibition which is very interesting and a modern art one too. Free admission, nice cafe, pleasent staff , absolutely perfect. Highly recommend visit.

So much to see and do. Took my 9yr old Granddaughter and we both loved it. Cafe was reasonably priced and good food too.

Featuring galleries dedicated to art, history and natural sciences, one can spend quite an enjoyable day taking in all the exhibits and contents of this museum. If feeling peckish, the restaurant in the entrance lobby is not only roomy but also serves good food. Don't forget to pop into the building across from the entrance as it is part of the museum and also features exhibits.

Brilliant museum, we visited as a family of 4 and all loved it. The displays are very well curated and beautifully presented. Really good interactive screens with so much information
