Explore hundreds of weird and wonderful objects inside the museum that show how people used to live in the past. Gaze out of this 18th century mansion house over 400 acres of beautiful parkland and imagine that it all belongs to you and your family. Well it does and it's all free!
Situated in the beautiful parkland of the Blaise Estate at Henbury, the Museum is housed in a late eighteenth century mansion, and contains most of the Museums Service's social history collections.
Here you can see all sorts of familiar - and not so familiar - items from homes through history, treasured toys including the popular model train collection, and beautiful period costumes.
Blaise Castle House was built in 1796-98 for John Harford, a wealthy Bristol merchant and banker. Inside some of the original ornamentation remains, such as casts of Classical and Neo-Classical sculptures and reliefs, including a set cast from the parthenon marbles.
You can also experience the beautiful Picture Room, restored to its Victorian splendour during the 1990's.
