Glasgow’s brand new Riverside Museum is now open!
Now relocated to the stunning Clyde-side landmark, the Transport Museum opened it’s doors to the public on the 21st June 2011.
The Riverside Museum now has more than 3,000 objects on display, compared with 1,300 in the previous Museum of Transport.
The museum uses its collections of vehicles and models to tell the story of transport by land and sea, with a unique Glaswegian flavour. Here you will find the oldest surviving pedal cycle and the finest collection in the world of Scottish-built cars. They include such world-famous makes as Argyll, Arrol Johnson and Albion.
The breadth of the collection is impressive. It features all forms of transport from horse-drawn vehicles to buses and fire engines, and from motorcycles to caravans. Even toy cars and prams are included.
Much loved by visitors from far and wide are the famous Glasgow trams, the ‘Subway’ station and Kelvin Street. You can recapture the atmosphere of old Glasgow.
The Museum of Transport has been a firm favourite with generations of Glasgow children and their parents. For an entertaining day out it really does have something for all the family.
