M Shed is an exciting and innovative museum for Bristol that tells the story of our city. Located on the historic dockside, Bristol’s flagship museum has been designed to retain the character of the former 1950s transit shed. Three galleries reveal the fascinating story of the city and its unique place in the world. From prehistoric times to the present day, explore the history of Bristol through the objects and stories of the people who have made the city what it is today. See amazing film and photographs, listen to moving personal stories, encounter rare and quirky objects and add your own memories of the city through the many interactive displays. M Shed is a living museum, where stories of the past will spark discussions about the future- where YOU can contribute to the changing story of the city.
