Riverside - Glasgow's Newest Destination

The Riverside Museum: Scotland's Museums of Transport and Travel opens to the public on 21st June 2011. 

Glasgow's well-loved Museum of Transport will relocate to this spectacular waterfront landmark that was designed by internationally-renowned architect, Zaha Hadid. The Riverside Museum will be her first major public building in the UK.

The dynamic new Riverside Museum will display Glasgow's rich industrial heritage, which stems from the River Clyde. The Tall Ship Glenlee is berthed alongside the Museum, creating a fantastic experience in this stunning setting.
Visitors can relax and enjoy the riverside views in the Museum's café, and take home gifts from the Museum's shop.

We look forward to welcoming you to Riverside Museum on the 21st June 2011.

The building itself looks absolutely stunning!

When I heard about the decision to put some of vehicles up on shelves however, I have to say that I was a bit disappointed. People want to peer in and look inside them. That was one of the best things about the arrangement at the old Museum Of Transport.

But after seeing this video, I'm impressed. Glad to see the expansion of the popular streetscape. Did you relocate the ghosts from the old Museum Of Transport too? I understand it was haunted!

Looking forward to visiting the new transport museum. Delighted to hear that they have kept the old Glasgow streets feature.
