Gloucester City Museum has recently re-opened following a Heritage Lottery-funded makeover. The museum now features brand new ground floor exhibitions and exhibits that promise a much more interactive experience. Highlights include a complete redisplay of the ground floor to include a Roman kitchen playhouse and medieval street.
The new reception area welcomes you into the museum, complete with the brand new addition of 'Cafe Nerva', a wonderful light and airy cafe experience in the museum, serving light lunches, tea, coffee and cakes amongst it's varied homemade menu, freshly prepared on site. Education and conference facilities also entirely new and updated!
The museum looks forward to seeing you soon!
