The Gibraltar Museum is a local museum in the city of Gibraltar that presents the history, archaeology, and natural history of the Rock of Gibraltar and its environs. Exhibits range from prehistoric and archaeological finds to displays on Gibraltar’s strategic military role and local cultural heritage.

The museum houses artefacts, interpretive displays, and rotating exhibitions that outline Gibraltar’s long human occupation and its ecological features. It serves as a research and public-education institution for the territory’s past and present.

The museum is located within the urban area of Gibraltar, in the old town near Main Street and other civic landmarks, and is easily reached on foot from central public spaces.

• Collections focus: The museum’s displays cover Gibraltar’s natural history, archaeology, and military past, making it a central reference for the Rock’s multi-period story.

The Gibraltar Museum is located in central Gibraltar, close to Main Street and within easy walking distance of Casemates Square and the town centre. From the Gibraltar land border with Spain follow Winston Churchill Avenue into town and head toward Main Street; the museum is a short walk from Casemates Square and the cruise terminal. Due to limited parking in the old town, it is typically reached on foot from central parking areas or by local buses.

• Visit the Gibraltar Museum early in the morning before cruise-ship crowds flood the town; most cruise passengers arrive mid-late morning and can make the historic center very busy.
• Allocate time to see the museum's Gorham's Cave and prehistory displays - these exhibits give context to Gibraltar's Neanderthal and natural-history finds that many visitors miss in favor of the Upper Rock attractions.
• Check the museum's opening hours and any temporary closures before you go (hours vary seasonally), and combine the museum visit with a short walking tour of the old town rather than trying to visit at peak tourist hours.
