Riverside Museum
Glasgow`s brand new transport museum. I was there at the opening to capture Glasgow new tourist attraction. The weather was not very kind to the thousands who turned up. The didn`t spoil the day. Please take time to look at my photographs from the day.
The Riverside was designed by Zaha Hadid Architects and engineers Buro Happold. The internal exhibitions and displays were designed by Event Communications. Replacing facilities at the city's Kelvin Hall, Although containing approximately the same floorspace as the previous museum facility at 7,500 sq m, it creates a more environmentally stable home for Glasgow's significant Transport Technology collections. The building also houses a workshop and office space for the Clyde Maritime Trust.

The Museum started up in 1964. It was located at Albert Drive in Pollokshields before moving to the Kelvin Hall.
The Kelvin Hall was converted in 1987 to house the Museum of Transport and a International Sports Arena.
The Kelvin hall museum closed in 2010. It reopened at the new Riverside Museum in 2011.

The location of the museum is on the site of the former A. & J. Inglis Shipyard within Glasgow Harbour, on the north bank of the River Clyde and adjacent to its confluence point with the River Kelvin. This site enables the Clyde Maritime Trust's SV Glenlee and other visiting craft to berth alongside the museum.
