A Tour of The Riverside Museum of Transport in Glasgow
One of the things I really love about Glasgow is the fact that it’s so chock-full of fantastic tourist attractions, many of which are completely free to enter.
And one free attraction that stands head and shoulders above most others is the Riverside Museum at Pointhouse Place on the mighty River Clyde.
The Clyde was once home to one of the world’s major ship-building industries so it’s fitting that this museum is dedicated to transport of every conceivable type, from rollerskates to bicycles, mopeds to cars, trams to trains, ships big and small, and every other possible mode of transport you can imagine thrown in for good measure.

Description look down.
Das Glasgow Riverside Museum of Transport and Travel ist ein sehr interessantes Museum, wenn man sich für die Entwicklung der Technik interessiert. In Berlin gibt es m.E. nicht Vergleichbares. Für mich waren die Dampflokomotiven und die Straßenbahnen von größtem Interesse. Auch eine vermeintliche Hauptstraße mit div. Geschäften des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts. Viele Exponate werden durch ein Display erklärt, was sich auch in Deutsch einstellen lässt – auch in Hindi.
Ein Besuch lohnt sich auf jeden Fall.
Dieses ist der letzte Film unserer England/Schottland-Reise in 2018.

The Riverside Museum is the current location of the Glasgow Museum of Transport, at Pointhouse Quay in the Glasgow Harbour regeneration district of Glasgow, Scotland. The building opened in June 2011.
On 18 May 2013, The Riverside Museum was announced as the Winner of the 2013 European Museum of the Year Award. In 2015, The Riverside Museum had 1,131,814 visitors during the year, making it the fifth most popular attraction in Scotland.
The Riverside Museum building was designed by Zaha Hadid Architects and engineers Buro Happold. The internal exhibitions and displays were designed by Event Communications. The purpose-built Museum replaced the previous home for the city's transport collection, at the city's Kelvin Hall, and was the first museum to be opened in the city since the St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art in 1993.
Of the £74 million needed for the development of the Riverside Museum, Glasgow City Council and the Heritage Lottery Fund have committed £69 million. The Riverside Museum Appeal is a charitable trust established to raise the final £5 million in sponsorship and donations from companies, trusts and individuals for the development of the museum.
Since opening the Riverside Museum has received generally positive reviews. However its layout continues to be regularly criticised by visitors; the chief complaint being that a significant portion of the cars on display are positioned on shelves mounted at great height.

The Riverside Museum (Glasgow Museum of Transport), lies at Pointhouse Quay in Glasgow, Scotland.
The Riverside Museum is the current location of the Glasgow Museum of Transport, at Pointhouse Quay in the Glasgow Harbour regeneration district of Glasgow, Scotland. The building opened in June 2011. On 18 May 2013, the museum was announced as the Winner of the 2013 European Museum of the Year Award. It received 1,131,814 visitors in 2017, making it the fourth most popular attraction in Scotland.The Glasgow Museum of Transport in Glasgow, Scotland was 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.
The Museum of Transport was first established in 1964. Created in the wake of the closure of Glasgow's tramway system in 1962, it was initially located at the former Coplawhill tram depot on Albert Drive in Pollokshields, before moving to the Kelvin Hall. The old building was subsequently converted into the Tramway arts centre.
The museum was then situated inside the Kelvin Hall opposite the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in the West End of Glasgow. The Kelvin Hall was built in 1927, originally as an exhibition centre, but was converted in 1987 to house the Museum of Transport and the Kelvin Hall International Sports Arena.
The Kelvin Hall site itself closed in April 2010, with the Museum moving to its third home at the new Riverside Museum in 2011.

The Museum of Transport in the Kelvin Hall was one of the most popular museums of transport in the United Kingdom, attracting half a million visitors a year, and housed many exhibits of national and international importance.
Road vehicles
The museum housed the oldest surviving pedal cycle and the world's leading collection of Scottish-built cars and trucks, including pioneering examples from Scottish manufacturers Argyll, Arrol-Johnston and Albion. More modern Scottish-built cars, namely the Rootes Group's Hillman Imp, Chrysler Avenger and Chrysler Sunbeam were represented too along with many other motorcars in a large showroom-type display sponsored by Arnold Clark.
All forms of transport were featured, from horse-drawn vehicles to fire engines, from motorcycles to caravans, even toy cars and prams.
Ship models
In the Clyde Room was a display of some 250 ship models, representing the contribution of the River Clyde and its shipbuilders and engineers to maritime trade and the Royal Navy, including the Comet of 1812, the Hood, the Howe, the Queen Mary, and the Queen Elizabeth and the QE2.
Railway and municipal transport exhibits
Locomotive manufacture was also an important Glasgow industry and the museum celebrated the city's railway heritage, including locomotives such as:
The Caledonian Railway - Caley No. 123 single driver
Highland Railway - No. 103, the Jones Goods
Great North of Scotland Railway - Gordon Highlander No. 49
Glasgow and South Western Railway - 5 Class 0-6-0T no. 9
Andrew Barclay 0-6-0 Fireless locomotive, South of Scotland Electricity Board, No. 1
First ScotRail - Class 380 EMU (full-scale model)
Model of the old St Enoch Station at the Transport Museum (Kelvin Hall)
Other main exhibits displayed the evolution of Glasgow's public transport system and included seven Glasgow Corporation Tramways tramcars from different eras, Glasgow Corporation Trolleybuses, and the reconstruction of Kelvin Street, which aimed to recapture the atmosphere of 1930s Glasgow, including full-scale replicas of a pre-1977 Glasgow Subway station and the Regal Cinema, which played Scottish transport documentaries such as Seawards the Great Ships.
