The Box Plymouth

Plymouth Museum | Gallery Plymouth

Museum Plymouth UK

The Box in Plymouth is a vibrant cultural and historical hub that blends a museum, gallery, and archive into one innovative space. Opened in 2020, it showcases Plymouth’s rich maritime heritage alongside contemporary art and diverse exhibitions.

Visitors can explore fascinating collections, including historical artefacts, art pieces, and multimedia displays that tell the story of Plymouth and its people. The Box also features a stunning suspended fleet of ships in its main atrium, a symbol of the city’s seafaring past. With interactive exhibits, a café, and a well-curated gift shop, it’s a must-visit for anyone interested in history, art, and local culture.

It is just a short walk from the main city centre, Drake Circus shopping mall, train and coach station. 

The permanent galleries and exhibitions are filled with highlights from the city's art, human history, media, film and archive collections. Every museum must have a natural history gallery, but Plymouth’s stands out from the crowd with a life-size model of a woolly mammoth built in Minnesota and shipped over.

The collections tell the stories of a nation and include the UK’s most significant collection of explorer materials, the Plymouth Bomb Book, evidencing the most destructive raids of the Second World War and proof that Devon invented the Cornish pasty. The 100 Journeys gallery is an interactive exploration of the epic voyages that began in Plymouth, from Sir Francis Drake to Walter Scott and all the way up to Greta Thunberg. 

Or, use the research facilities to discover more about your local and family history. Including the Mayflower.
