Plymouth City Museum & Art Gallery, Drake Circus, Plymouth, PL4 8AJ, Devon, England

Calling all culture vultures, heritage hunters, curious kids, cash-strapped carers, searching students, restless retirees and anybody with even a passing interest in who we are and what we do. We aim to provide something for everybody - and admission is free!

Our Edwardian building, which opened in 1910, houses collections of art, history and natural science. Visit us to experience our temporary exhibitions, permanent collections and regular special events. Our packed programme includes talks, workshops, concerts and activities. We cater for schools and community groups through our popular Education and Outreach Service that provides services both inside and outside the Museum.

This museum has a Designated Collection of national importance.
