The 'M Shed' has replaced Bristol Industrial Museum.

There are many items on display relating to aspects of Bristol’s people and the city's history.

Bristol had a proud industrial heritage, but visitors will find relatively few local industrial artefacts in the open displays. Fortunately, numerous items are stored on site in the reserve collection, and 'Behind the Scenes' tours are available twice a week. See relevant web page for details [1]
