More information on British Empire and Commonwealth Museum
Strange to have an Empire museum in these politically correct times? Well, the British Empire and Commonwealth Museum neither promotes nor condemns the idea of empire, instead the exhibits are carefully chosen to present just the facts. Starting from the 1497 voyage of John Cabot from Bristol to America, it charts a course through history that takes in a wide range of cultures and also celebrates the diversity that is united in the current Commonwealth. It is located in the world's oldest surviving railway terminus. There is a cafe as well that serves refreshments. Check website.
