Palestine Museum & Cultural Centre bristol

A wonderful hidden gem in the heart of Bristol. Packed full of information as well as Palestinian fair trade items to purchase. A thoroughly informative museum and highly recommended.

Great that this museum exists. Sorry I wasn't about when it was open. I like to consider both sides of this issue.

Very informative, staff very helpful and knowledgeable and clearly very passionate, and quite right too. Don't miss out on this fantastically successful attempt by Bristol to educate people of Palestines struggle

Very enlightening, good to increase knowledge of the situation

Today I visited the Palestinian Museum and Cultural Centre in Bristol, as it was an attraction that I had not yet visited. I found it very informative and the volunteers that work at the museum were extremely friendly and came over to say hello to me when I entered. I am not someone that is overly political, but I do have an interest in History, and naturally many people have suffered on both sides following the end of the First World War and various settlement treaties. In that regard, the museum was very informative, and gave a good background to the political quagmire that has existed throughout the last century. Life as we know, is something that is sadly not inherently fair. However in situations where opinions are very dogmatic and both sides are unequivocally convinced that they are correct, fighting to prove such righteousness can only further radicalise and entrench the position of either side. This feeling of righteousness in politics is often derived from parties logically analysing past events in order to reach specific conclusions.. When the issue should really be about not what happened in the past. But about what is best for everyone in the future...…….. We should not allow our emotions at the past, to blind our judgment on the future. Have a great week, and thanks again for letting me visit. Best wishes in the future, Alex.

Important place. Recommended for school and educational trips. Like the International Museum of Slavery of Liverpool, it may take decades or hundreds of years, but eventually the truth will be told! Where is the government support for such a key issue of justice and equality?... In the words of the late Desmond Tutu: "Ive been very deeply distressed in my visit to the Holy Land; it reminded me so much of what happened to us black people in South Africa. I have seen the humiliation of the Palestinians at checkpoints and roadblocks, suffering like us when young white police officers prevented us from moving about...People are scared in this country to say wrong is wrong...the apartheid government was very powerful, but today it no longer exists". (Desmond Tutu, Boston USA, 2002)

Is describing it as Palestinian land not incredibly misleading, when you consider how many different ethnic groups lived there during the mandate? Have Bosnians, Algerians, Armenians and Greeks in the region ever identified as Palestinian? Did anyone identify as Palestinian during the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem (1872 - 1917)?

Well worth a visit very informative & friendly atmosphere be aware lots of information to take in!!

Seems more like a propaganda centre than a museum... Very childish displays of fake, supposedly 'Palestinian' culture - I agree with the comment which claimed the sources looked like they'd come from a school project.

Sad situation will this be resolved?
