Re-opening May 2008 The National Waterways Museum Gloucester is currently undergoing an exciting refurbishment programme and will re-open in May 2008 with new galleries and refreshed exhibits.
In the revitalised museum you will be able to discover what it would have been like to live and work on our waterways through the new Water Lives Exhibition.
There will also be two brand new galleries:
The 'Ecology Gallery' is devoted to the wildlife that can be found along our waterways today.
'Move It' explains how the canals were built and how the engineering pioneers of their day overcame huge technological difficulties to enable a national water-based transport network.
Scheduled educational visits will continue as planned throughout the refurbishment period. All enquiries should be directed to the museum bookings office on 01452 318200.
Coots Museum CaféAs part of the redevelopment of the National Waterways Museum Gloucester Docks, the museum café has also been completely renovated to house Coots, a new destination café bar.
In addition to providing refreshments for museum visitors and a wide-ranging menu of hot and cold food and drinks for everyone to enjoy, the new café will be presenting an exciting programme of lunch-time and evening music and performance events from its revitalised dockside location.
