Best Museums in Longleat Safari Park

"Brunel’s SS Great Britain – once the longest passenger ship in the world – is one of Bristol’s most iconic landmarks, and for good reason. Billed as the ‘ship that changed the world’, she epitomises not only Bristolian maritime history, but British maritime history, famed for being ahead of her time and the first iron steamer to cross the Atlantic. A trip to the onboard museum tells the tale of how she completed the Atlantic voyage in 14 days, an impressive feat back in 1845, and how she also carried thousands of immigrants to Australia."

"SS Great Britain in Bristol (Photo: Flickr) Bristol is located along the River Avon and the old industrial port is now home to lively restaurants and museums.

If you arrive there with a rough plan, you’ll be able to get around to everything you want to see in just two days in Bristol."

"The Victoria Art Gallery is another Bath museum that’s free for children – you can also get combined tickets with the Roman Baths and Fashion Museum, and it’s another great option for rainy days in Bath with kids. The collection includes items from the 15th century right up to the present day (including a recently acquired Grayson Perry print). As well as family events during school holidays, you’ll find art trolleys stocked with crafts to try including colouring and a portrait trail."

"If you are a lover of art, the permanent gallery at Victoria Art Gallery is free to enter and there are large temporary exhibitions throughout the year. The museum is filled with paintings, sculptures and decorative arts and collections range from the 15th century to the present day.

"The Salisbury Library and Galleries building houses the Edwin Young Collection. The gallery showcases an excellent selection of artwork composed principally of wash drawings by Edwin Young (1831-1913), a Victorian watercolorist. This artist willed the gallery, as well as his personal art collection and works to the city in 1913."

"The Museum of East Asian Art is located a few metres from The Circus in central Bath and is one of the most unique art collections in England. Situated in a restored Georgian house, the Museum attracts the interest of students, scholars and tourists, and also has a loyal local following. Since opening to the public in April 1993, the Museum has gone from strength to strength, and has become one of the most extensive collections of East Asian art outside London."

"Be sure to add the Museum of East Asian Art (MEAA) to your list of Bath attractions to explore. Housed in another of the city's gorgeous old Georgian townhomes, this fascinating museum opened in 1993 and contains many fine collections of carvings made from jade and bamboo. There are also many bronze sculptures and ceramics from across East and Southeast Asia, including Korea, Japan, and China, in the collection."

"1 km from city center 17 out of 20 places to visit in Bath. Established in 1993, the Museum of East Asian Art is the only museum of the United Kingdom preserving collections of East Asian art and other artefacts. Located on Bennett Street, the museum is a 12-minute walk from the city centre."

"Looked after by English heritage, the Glastonbury Tribunal is a 15th-century merchant’s house with a slightly later Tudor facade. Inside, the ground floor is a tourist information centre, but if you go upstairs is the Glastonbury Lake Museum run by the local antiquarian society. The building has lots of riveting period details, like a Tudor Rose and coat of arms of Abbot Richard Beere (1493-1524) above the entrance."

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. Despite its name, the Tobacco Factory Theatre is actually a café and bar that visitors can go to enjoy a nice evening. They have different events almost every night that they are open, ranging from comedy shows to musical acts."

"The Bristol Hippodrome is a theatre and performance venue built in 1912, and one of Bristol’s largest venues. The Hippodrome is one of the best places to go to catch a live show. The venue has hosted acts such as Eddie Cochran and Lee Mack, and is a popular spot for touring West End theatre shows, including Cats and Les Miserables."

"I think the past couple of days have been the closest I’ve been to ’insta’- gram in ages.
