The Exploratory was a science museum in Bristol. Established in 1981 by Richard Gregory, professor of neuropsychology at Bristol University,[1][2][3][4][5] it was the first regional hands-on science museum in the United Kingdom.[6]

From 1987 to 1989 it was housed in the city's Victoria Rooms. In 1989 it moved to Bristol Temple Meads railway station, where it occupied the original terminal shed, which had been designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

The Exploratory closed in 1999. Its successor was At-Bristol, now We The Curious, a larger science centre which opened in 2000 at a new site as part of the regeneration of the historical Floating Harbour.
