Bristol Museum & Art Gallery

The Bristol Museum, which has free entry, houses a collection of material relating to Indigenous peoples and also Native visitors to Bristol. The Curiosity Gallery on the first floor contains several displays of these artifacts, including a beaded bandolier bag and Pueblo pottery. It also features art from contemporary Native artists, such as Cara Romero (Chemehuevi) and Diego Romero (Cochiti Pueblo), who have visited the city as guests of the Rainmaker Gallery (https://www.rainmakerart.co.uk/). Hear Diego Romero speak about the inspiration behind his pottery in the video link!

We also recommend a visit to the Rainmaker Gallery, which specializes in contemporary Indigenous North American art and jewellery and is only a short walk or ride away from the museum. Located at 140 Whiteladies Road, Bristol, you can get there by walking (it's about a mile) or taking a taxi or uber, or the bus. The numbers 1/ 2a/ 3/ 4/ 72a buses all leave from the stop opposite the museum. Take any of them and alight at Apsley Road. It's only a one minute walk further along Whiteladies Road to where the gallery is situated.
