visited (my oldest grandson who is 6 and myself) on a Saturday. The museum is fairly well sign-posted and there is plenty of on-site parking. The car park was about half full so the museum was busy. Parking is £1.60 per hour but entry to the museum (and the adjacent Tall Ship) is free.Mask- wearing is compulsory though compliance was patchy. About 20% didn’t bother at all which is poor is an indoor environment with lots of kids.

The Riverside Museum is a very modern design concept of the building, the museum is a very three-dimensional building, at night is also quite fun, the whole riverside museum collection of a lot of items.
The Riverside Museum is a good showcase of the history of the industrial city of Glasgow for river transport, which attracts attention through modern architecture like the dock regeneration area in the distance, and the difference is that a model of a ship can be very intuitive to show the UK. The greatness of the former sailing
Riverside Museum. The museum, which was completed and opened in June 2011, was named the European Museum of the Year in 2013. The unique shape and colorful content allow us to review the development of traffic from one side. The exhibits are particularly representative, although they are local in Scotland, but many transportations also brought me back to my childhood. Free to visit, there is a merchant ship display behind the museum, you can board the ship to visit the interior. The ship, called Galatea, was built in 1896 and launched in Glasgow. It was used as a commercial transport ship that year, and was transported around the world four times. It was used as a training ship for the Spanish Navy in 1922. In 1992, a shipping trust in Glasgow bought it for 40,000 and was renovated to show it to the outside world. The ship was listed as a historic vessel by the British government as one of 43 ships. Highly recommended to visit!
The Riverside Museum is the Glasgow Museum, which focuses on exhibition transport. He completed the construction of the Glasgow Pier at Pointhouse on 20 June 2011, which injected fresh blood into the regeneration area of Glasgow Port, Scotland. The next day, it was opened to the public. On May 18, 2013, the museum was announced as the winner of the 2013 European Museum of the Year Award. In 2013, the museum had740276 visitors during the year. The Linjiang Museum building was designed by Zaha Hadid Architects and Engineers BROHappold. The interior exhibitions and presentations are cleverly designed. Although containing approximately the same floor area as the previous museum facility of 7500 m2, it creates a more stable environment to showcase the evolution of transport in Glasgow. The building also houses the Clyde Maritime Trust workshop and office space. The museum is located in the former A.& J. Inglis shipyard in Port Glasgow, on the River Clyde, adjacent to its junction with the north bank of the River Kelvin.
There is a tall boat outside the riverbank museum that is free to visit. The museum has a variety of interesting exhibitions on local transportation systems of the times, and passenger ships that have sailed more than a thousand times in the Atlantic Ocean and retired safely. I like it for any age group.
