Who should visit? Events?

 Impressions

The museum is definitely a memorable visit, The building itself is awe-inspiring and really a brilliant showcase of Zaha Hadid's style. 

The museum is very modern and is an iconic landmark in the city skyline

Walking through Kelvin street was magical, it felt like I was transported back to that time and experiencing what life was like for people in that time.

The museum is made for everyone, but it resonates more with the older generation as they would have probably been on the trams and buses that are shown there, It also gives the older generation something to show their grandchildren and tell those awe-inspiring stories that grandparents tell!

In my own opinion I recommend everyone to visit the museum, there is things for everyone to do and see.

Booking

you don't need to book, all you have to do is arrive to the museum and wanna know the best thing?

Its free! who doesn't love free things especially going to the riverside museum.

although if you want to visit on educational group tours or just want to visit in a group you have to book but for regular visits.

Activities and Events

Every year in June they host the Riverside festival which is an electronic music festival.

Every autumn they have a famous car come in, for example this year, they had the ghostbusters van, Unfortunately the van just went away when I visited but maybe you might be lucky to see the next car!
