Portsmouth City Museum

Portsmouth City Museum is a great place for visitors to the city to get a good introduction to the city and also has events programmes for local residents.

Kids will love the look of the place, which is reminiscent of a fairy tale castle, with turrets and pointed roofs, but it is actually a former barracks!

The main display in the museum is the ‘Story of Portsmouth' and gives kids a great chance to learn how life at home has changed over the centuries in the galleries, which reconstruct a Victorian parlour, a 1930s kitchen, a 1950s living room.
