M Shed
Explore Bristol’s social, industrial and maritime stories in a former transit shed beside the harbour. The harbour location lets you connect exhibits immediately to the cranes and quays outside.
Why go
The city museum makes the working waterfront and its people legible through objects and testimony. It is a useful wet-weather anchor and a distinct successor to the closed Bristol Industrial Museum. The harbour location lets you connect exhibits immediately to the cranes and quays outside.
