The Box is a museum, gallery and archive in Plymouth, Devon, England, opened in 2020 housing a collection of about 2 million items.[1][2] The core of the building was previously Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery which closed in 2016. The building was created in 1907–1910 by Thornely and Rooke in Edwardian Baroque style.[3] and was combined with the former Central Library building and St Luke's Church on Tavistock Place into The Box.[4]
