Palestine Museum & Cultural Centre

Very nice place to visit No tickets needed Highly recommended as it’s the only one in Europe People there were very nice

A must visit in Bristol! Learning about the atrocities that “Israel” (and those who support it, the UK included) has pushed and committed on the Palestinian people and how this devastating evil has been going on for almost 80 years. The only one of its kind in the country, you are able to support Palestinians by buying Palestinian products made by Palestinians. So go, support, resist. It’s a duty!

A very informative little place. Completely free. Run by very friendly volunteers who are happy to help and answer any questions. So much information about the history, culture, geography, people of Palestine, links between Bristol and Palestine, and current affairs. Beautiful displays of traditional dress. Traditional music was being played. Up lots of stairs so probably not very accessible for those with mobility issues. Lots of written displays so probably not very accessible for people with low reading ability. You're able to buy produce there and items made in Palestine, with the money going towards those abroad who created the items and also towards the running of this not-for-profit museum. Such a lovely idea. Definitely worth popping in to learn about another country and its culture you're in the area.

Visiting the Palestine Museum and Cultural Centre was an experience I will never forget. It was not just a simple museum trip, it felt deeply personal and emotional from the moment I stepped inside. You can almost feel the history and the struggle in the air, like the walls themselves are carrying the voices of the people of Palestine. The exhibits take you through the history of Palestine in a way that is both heartbreaking and inspiring. There are photographs, personal items, stories, and cultural pieces that tell the story of a people who have endured so much but still hold on to their identity and strength. It is not like walking through a regular history museum, it is raw, it is real, and it forces you to reflect on what justice and humanity really mean. One of the things that stood out most was the incredible team of volunteers. They do not just stand there giving you basic information, they speak with passion, with knowledge, and with genuine care. They really make the experience come alive. I had the chance to talk with Liz, one of the volunteers, and she was amazing. She recommended a book to me called Ten Myths About Israel by Ilan Pappé, and just from the way she explained it, I could tell it is something that will open my eyes even further to the truth. I have already made a note to get hold of it. What makes the museum so moving is not only learning about the rich culture and heritage of Palestine but also confronting the painful reality of what is happening today. You cannot look at the evidence, the testimonies, and the history, and still deny what is going on. This is a genocide against the Palestinian people, and I honestly cannot understand how anyone could think otherwise after seeing and learning what I did here. The museum does not preach, it presents, but the truth it presents is powerful enough to break through any denial. Another important thing to mention is that entry to the museum is completely free. The fact that such a powerful place is open to everyone without charge shows how much the volunteers and organisers simply want people to learn, to understand, and to spread awareness. I left feeling shaken, heartbroken, but also grateful that places like this exist. They give a voice to a people who are so often silenced or misrepresented. They educate, they preserve culture, and they remind us of the importance of standing up for justice. If you are thinking about visiting, I cannot recommend it enough. Go with an open heart, be ready to learn, and be ready to feel. This is not just a museum visit, it is something that stays with you long after you leave.

IT's free and has alot to see and knowledge of Palestine and it's people we thought it was well thought out and interesting will go again and take the family we send prayers for the people of Gaza. ❤
