In Victorian Bristol, George Müller housed and educated over 10,000 orphans through prayer, faith and the generosity of thousands.
Inside the museum, discover a typical day in the life of an orphan, what school was like and where orphans moved onto after leaving the homes.
The George Müller Museum also houses original artefacts including Müller’s desk and Bible (complete with his own notes).
In 2019, the museum relocated to one of original Orphan Homes which George Müller built in Bristol during the Victorian era.
You can now find it in BS7, at The Lofthouse on College Road.
