Museums & Galleries
The Box, Plymouth
The Box is Plymouth’s major new cultural and heritage attraction – a museum, art gallery and archive which opened in September to brilliant reviews.
The former City Museum and Art Gallery, Central Library and St Luke’s Church buildings have been transformed into an amazing venue and visitor experience with a series of large-scale galleries that highlight the city’s art, natural history, human history, film, photography and archival collections.
Additional galleries host an exciting programme of temporary exhibitions throughout the year. Current exhibitions include ‘Mayflower 400: Legend and Legacy’ - a major show featuring hundreds of objects and which explores the myths and uncovers new meanings connected to the Mayflower’s epic journey in 1620.
You can stock up on gifts and souvenirs in the shop and enjoy some great food and drink in the The Box Kitchen & Bar while you’re there.
And, there's still plenty more to see in Plymouth…
Visit the Mayflower Museum on the Barbican and Smeatons Tower on The Hoe, as well as a host of wonderful art galleries, including The Arts Institute and The Gallery at Plymouth College of Art.
Many of these are situated around the historic Barbican or in the city centre. You will find classic and contemporary artwork from both local and national artists to suit all tastes and budgets.
