Riverside Museum Tourism

The Riverside Museum, located in Glasgow, United Kingdom, is a modern and innovative transport museum situated on the banks of the River Clyde. Officially opened in June 2011, the museum showcases Glasgow's rich industrial heritage, focusing on transport and technology. Designed by the renowned architect Zaha Hadid, this striking building has an undulating roofline and is covered with zinc panels, offering a futuristic look that contrasts with the historic ships moored outside. Inside, visitors are greeted with a vast array of over 3,000 objects that tell the story of Glasgow's transportation history, from skateboards to locomotives, and prams to vintage cars. There is also a recreated street from the early 20th century, complete with shops and a subway station. The museum's interactive displays and hands-on exhibits provide an engaging experience for all ages. Additionally, the Tall Ship Glenlee is anchored alongside the museum, allowing visitors to explore Glasgow's shipbuilding past firsthand.
