The Box

Plymouth

An award-winning museum, gallery and archive just a few minutes’ walk from Plymouth’s city centre. A Kitchen & Bar. A shop. A place where heritage meets contemporary art. A space for researching family and local history. A place that you can make your own, and where there's always something new to discover.

The Box brings six outstanding collections of art, human history, natural history, film, photography and archival material together, showcased in a series of exciting galleries.

A changing programme of art exhibitions and displays are on offer throughout the year covering a wide range of subjects. Or why not come and see our ‘Planet Ocean’ exhibition, which runs throughout 2024, exploring our enduring relationship with the sea and how we can protect it for the future?

Talks, family activities and special events also regularly take place – see the what’s on section of our website for full details.

Opening hours are 10am-5pm Tuesday to Sunday and selected bank holidays.
Free entry.
No need to book.
