Portsmouth Museum and Art Gallery explores different facets of Portsmouth's rich and varied history - from the everyday to moments when the city has played its role in national and international events. The city's art and design collections are showcased here.

See the gallery of the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes (conceived of here by his creator Arthur Conan Doyle) on the ground floor of the museum.

The museum provides an excellent introduction to the city for visitors of all ages and its inviting spaces and events programme are popular with residents.

The museum with its turrets and pointed roofs - reminiscent of a fairy-tale castle- is in fact a former barracks, the garden with a small play area is a perfect place to relax and enjoy a drink and a snack from our museum cafe.
