The Box museum and art gallery in Plymouth is celebrating a "highly impressive" rise in visitor numbers.
The Plymouth City Council venue, which opened in 2020, welcomed 272,000 people for the 12 months from April 2023 to April 2024, an increase of 10% on the previous year.
Since opening, 817,000 people have visited the venue. Of these, more than a third were first-time visitors and a quarter had never visited a similar attraction before.
Deputy Leader of the Council, Jemima Laing, said: "These latest figures from The Box are highly impressive and give us so much to celebrate."
She added: "Every time I visit, it seems to get better and better, with everything from free creative activities for families and young children to world-class art exhibitions that are touring the globe."
The Box was voted Devon’s Best Family Attraction in the 2024 Muddy Stilettos Awards in May. It has also just received a Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice award.
