Visit numbers to The Box recently passed 900,000 – and that can only mean one thing: the city’s award-winning venue is now on a journey to reach one million!
The flagship museum, art gallery and archive The Box opened in late September 2020 and has gone from strength to strength ever since, with a range of galleries that highlight the permanent collections, plus a hugely ambitious programme of changing exhibitions.

You can experience a flotilla of giant Royal Naval ship’s figureheads that sail above your head when you first arrive, learn about our planet in a natural history gallery packed with insects, skeletons, pickled marine specimens and visitor favourite Mildred the Mammoth, discover more about Plymouth’s enduring relationship with the sea in the Port of Plymouth gallery, and find out more about the technological developments and people that have shaped the city’s film and photographic heritage in the Media Lab.
There’s plenty to see and enjoy all year round. Why not call in to look around the onsite shop which stocks a range of lovely locally sourced products, enjoy something to eat and drink in The Box Kitchen & Bar or see one of the fantastic exhibitions that bring the best of history and contemporary art to the South West?
