Glasgow revisited : Riverside Museum & Tall Ship

I thought I should have a separate post on the transport museum/riverside museum.

The museum provides an exciting new home for Glasgow's transport collection and replaces the Museum of Transport previousy located at the Kelvin Hall. The development has a riverside location on a site where the River Clyde meets River Kelvin.

the building was designed by Architect Zaha Hadid and opened in June 2011.  With more than 3,000 objects on display, from skateboards to locomotives, paintings to prams, velocipedes to voiturettes, there is something for visitors of all ages. there is no entrance fee into the museum and tall ship. definitely worth taking the kids next time we are in Glasgow.

the easiest way to get there on public transport is on the subway, stop at Partick Station and walk for 10-15 minutes.














Moored outside is the 19th-century sailing ship, Glasgow's Tall Ship, the Glenlee.
