Today I revisited Blaise Museum with an Australian friend. On arrival at the Museum we were greeted by Paula who gave us information to help guide us around the exhibitions. Thank you! Alastair brought each room alive with huge passion, thought provoking insights and knowledgable information that transcended through time and social history. Alastair is an amazing guide. Heartfelt thanks for taking time with us during our visit. The Museum is free to enter and depends on donations. The picture room is of its time and the paintings depict life and landscapes of Bristol throughout the centuries. Our Australian friend was particularly fascinated by the clothing and craft and artifacts .

Free entrance but accept donations. Friendly staff and interesting place to bring your kids. They can see really old items in perfect shape. Quite interesting to see how kids used to play with similar toys dozens of years ago.

Had a great free day out here with the family. Lots of interesting items and rooms to look at. They had a dress up room which the kids loved using and also the gift shop. After we visited the park and Blaise Castle and had a fantastic afternoon exploring the woods and castle grounds and kids loved the park at the end while mum & dad had a coffee from the on site cafe. A really great free day out located in Bristol would highly recommend in the kids school holidays
