The new home for Glasgow’s museum of transport
Experience Glasgow’s industrial heritage in a striking building designed by internationally renowned architect Zaha Hadid.
Many favourite exhibits from the old Museum of Transport are on show with twice as many exhibits than before.
The displays are bound to impress – with cars climbing the walls, bikes suspended from the ceiling and a train engine hovering from the mezzanine!
Interactive displays help you to find out everything you want to know about the collection.
The Street has been beautifully reconstructed with more shops open to visitors giving a fascinating insight into a typical Glasgow shopping street in the 1930s.
You can even climb into a subway carriage to see what travelling on the ‘Clockwork Orange’ would have been like back then.
