Riverside Museum
The Riverside Museum is Glasgow Life's museum of transport and technology at the junction of the Rivers Kelvin and Clyde in Glasgow, home to the city's transport and technology collections.
Why go
The Riverside Museum is run by Glasgow Life, which says it was the first purpose-built museum it created in the 21st century and that it houses the city's transport and technology collections. Glasgow Life describes a recreated street scene with shops, houses and a subway station among its displays. Its venue page lists free entry with no need to book. This record is the museum at Pointhouse Place, not the former Museum of Transport and not the Riverside Museum at Blake's Lock in Reading.
