Riverside Museum is the first purpose-built museum created by Glasgow Life in the 21st century. Located at the junction of the Rivers Kelvin and Clyde, it houses the city’s fabulous transport and technology collections, which have been gathered over the centuries and which reflect the important part Glasgow has played in the world through its contributions to heavy industries like shipbuilding, train manufacturing and engineering.

Established in 1964 and initially located at a former tram depot in Pollokshields. In 1987, the museum was relocated to the city’s Kelvin Hall, then moved to its current location in the Riverside Museum building at Glasgow Harbour in 2011
