The Gibraltar National Museum

Small museum with some interesting artefacts. Built on top of the ancient public baths. Quite pricey for the time you are inside. 15 pound for 1 adult but that covers the natural History Museum also.

The Gibraltar Museum offers a rich and insightful experience, particularly for history enthusiasts. One of the key points to note is the current pricing structure: entry to the Gibraltar Museum is included in a £15 ticket that also grants access to another museum located in the far south of the region. This is a significant change from previous years when the museum alone could be visited for just £5 as I personally did not enjoy the counterpart museum. You may read more of my review of the other museum with map search “Gibraltar National Museum (natural history)”. In contrast to the southern museum, while this museum may not offer the same level of interactivity as many modern institutions, it makes up for it with well-curated displays and informative content that effectively captures Gibraltar's history. There's also a video featuring live local swallows in their nest, which I found it uniquely cool. Overall, the museum is concise and engaging, making it a worthwhile visit for those eager to grasp the essence of Gibraltar. It would be even more appealing if there were a single dedicated ticket for this museum priced under £10.

I loved this little museum - it reflected Gibraltar….. a honeycomb of little rooms stuffed with artifices, tools, weapons but best of all, pictures and photos illustrating the history of Gibraltar. I particularly liked seeing how aspects of Gibraltar had changed over the years. Absolutely fascinating. I found out about Gorham’s Cave and was delighted to visit. I loved the way the water supplies had been exposed outside. No photos were allowed inside … disappointed there was not a brochure with photos etc … I thought the little shop could have been a bit more imaginatively stocked …. Trinkets and a few books covered in dust! I was, however, glad I found it ( eventually) and I spent 2-3 hours in there carefully watching the excellent videos. Would have appreciated clearer signage in the bathhouse.

Fair priced small Museum offering a quiet retreat from the hustle & bustle of Main Street. Star attraction is the Moorish Bath remains. You have the option of turning your £5 ticket into an £8 one which gives you access to the Gorham’s Cave viewing platform (only when they open it). Wasn’t sure of my itinerary so I passed the opportunity.

Disappointed.. Closed National Gibraltar Day, maybe the whole weekend, the very days it should be open for the public to enjoy and learn. Very hard to see the building, tucked away down a side street, been there for years evidently, at the least they could put a flag up or a bigger display sign .. I wonder how many tourists have passed its doors. I give 1 star to draw their attention to this problem.. if the Museum would like comment positively, I will delete..

What fools. They only sell tickets for 2 museums Not just this one Got there just after 1 pm They said 2nd museum closes 2pm so effectively I buy ticket and only see this one for £15 Why Makes no sense I just wanted to walk round this museum

Overpriced. A small but interesting collection. Particular emphasis on the Siege and the Rock during the Second World War.

I was hoping to gain an understanding of the history of Gibraltar and how it came to be under British rule but sadly failed on this front. Many of the exhibits are nicely displayed but there's no clear reason why or how the sections relate to each other. It's a mishmash of historical items with no clear narrative. £15 per person seemed expensive to us.
