Very moving experience. Learnt things I had no idea about. I even brought a powerful and vibrantly coloured canvas Art work of an African Palastinian by Malak. The volunteer staff are doing a great job!

A much needed walk in museum run solely by volunteers and free for visitors. The museum does a great job at making information regarding Palestine's history and its occupation accessible to everyone, by showing visual representations of the occupation as well as quotes by the likes of Nelson Mandela and Noam Chomsky that accurately describe the reality in Palestine. What was especially great in the museum, however, was the representation of Palestinian culture. There were beautiful displays of traditional Palestinian dresses, and insights into the different dresses worn in the different regions of Palestine as well the local foods and customs. This truly allows you to connect with a People that have become so sterilized and ostracised in the mainstream media, to the point where they are seen as political objects and not as a beautiful group of people who, despite continuously enduring so much hardships, have a rich and colourful culture as well as heritage. The museum truly allows you to delve and better understand the injustices occuring in Palestine, as well as appreciate the beautiful culture of its people.

Wonderful space here to celebrate culture and be mindful and unbiased of world history and find wonderful ways of moving forward in a cruel place with love at it's heart by understanding how people can live in peace regardless of religion and with a forward thinking mentality to join together without war and with kindness to vulnerable opposed parts of society including children and elderly. To give them hope and future communities to empower with love. Amazing to hear about Jews against occupation and growing support for our fellow man/child.Beautiful and thoughtful information, art, photos and historical facts together with clear prospective and carefully made presentations, crafts, clothing and jewellery. Some delightful items for sale. Staff very helpful and friendly.

A very interesting and informative museum about the horrors inflicted on the Palestinian people over the last 80 years. Only open weekends but worth a look. Free entry and a tea shop next door.

I didn't have the honour and time to visit the museum unfortunately, but I was really impressed by this amazing street art which has been established so nicely on the exterior of the building. really creative and alternative design. this is probably on the best streets in Bristol as you can see many more graffitis and street art on the walls and the exterior of most buildings. very interesting and breathtaking urban location for the city and art lovers <3 I will do my best to visit the museum as well for sure next time I will be there, I think it will be equally interesting in the interior as well :p

Amazing insight and a wonderful decision to make public the cruelty happening on our doorstep and the major powers on the planet turning a blind eye which is obvious to those with an ounce of intelligence.

Today I visited the Palestinian Museum and Cultural Centre in Bristol, as it was an attraction that I had not yet visited. I found it very informative and the volunteers that work at the museum were extremely friendly and came over to say hello to me when I entered. I am not someone that is overly political, but I do have an interest in History, and naturally many people have suffered on both sides following the end of the First World War and various settlement treaties. In that regard, the museum was very informative, and gave a good background to the political quagmire that has existed throughout the last century. Life as we know, is something that is sadly not inherently fair. However in situations where opinions are very dogmatic and both sides are unequivocally convinced that they are correct, fighting to prove such righteousness can only further radicalise and entrench the position of either side. This feeling of righteousness in politics is often derived from parties logically analysing past events in order to reach specific conclusions.. When the issue should really be about not what happened in the past. But about what is best for everyone in the future...…….. We should not allow our emotions at the past, to blind our judgment on the future. Have a great week, and thanks again for letting me visit. Best wishes in the future, Alex.

Beautiful cosy museum. It's free, no need to pay. They have an exciting photos exposition plus some products from Palestine. I've bought extra virgin olive oil... delicious!

L. S.

What an amazing place, packed full of information on the terrible plight of these people. Very grass roots and DIY but it all comes from the heart. Lovely artwork on sale, some good products and traditional garments. Well worth a visit if you want to educate yourself on this subject.

Detailed text and photo exhibition of story of Palestine from history and culture to current conflict. Open weekends. Shop with crafts, art and foods to help support project.

Really clear and informative insight into the history of Palestine. Although the displays reminded me a little of school history projects in the way they were presented (laminated cut outs of text), the museum definitely helped me understand some of the issues facing the Gaza strip and Palestinian people today. The temporary photo exhibit was also a very eye opening experience. Highly recommend.

A wonderful museum, loads of info on politics and culture and an opportunity to buy Palestinian products. Recommended.

A. B.

A great place to visit in Bristol to learn more about the Palestinian struggle. They were very accomodating and allowed me to view the exhibition despite it being a week day that I showed up. I learnt a great deal. It is a shame that there is no such museum or cultural centre in London. However, it was worth the trip from London to Bristol to see this museum that operates on the basis of donations and volunteers who are to be commended.
