The Riverside Museum, Scotland's Museum of Transport and Travel, houses more than 3,000 exhibits, in over 150 interactive displays telling the stories of the objects on display through the lives of the people who owned, used and operated them, and of the people who made the term 'Clyde Built' one which travelled the world and spoke volumes about unbeatable quality.
From massive steam locomotives to the recreation of a city street during the 1900s, the cathedral-like structure, designed by Zaha Hadid who was arguably the world's most in-demand architect, provides a stunning backdrop to showcase the innovation and ambition of what was the 'Second City of the Empire'.
The Tall Ship Glenlee is moored outside, one of only five ‘Clyde Built’ sailing vessels afloat in the world today and the only one in the UK. Like all of Glasgow's 10 civic museums, entry is free.
