Glasgow Science Centre

Voted one of Britain’s Most Popular Places to visit and Europe’s Best Science Centre, the Glasgow Science Centre was opened in 2001 and is located on the south bank of the River Clyde. It is compromised of three buildings, which are the Glasgow Tower, the Science Mall and the first IMAX Cinema that was built in Scotland.

Whilst the Science Mall’s design resembles the canted hall of a ship, it houses three floors of learning exhibits. These are themed around concepts of ‘explore and discover’, ‘science in action’ and ‘science and you’ and are designed to encourage interaction and on-going learning. It also holds the Glasgow Science Centre Planetarium, which projects images of the night sky through a projector.

Glasgow Museum of Transport

The Glasgow Museum of Transport was established in 1964 and it was relocated to Glasgow Harbour, opening as the Riverside Museum in 2011. The winner of the 2013 European Museum of the Year Award, the Riverside Museum is expected to attract up to 1 million visitors per year.

Housing the worlds oldest surviving pedal cycle and the worlds leading collection of Scottish built cars and tricks, the museum also recaptures the atmosphere of 1930’s Glasgow with a reconstructed ‘Kelvin Street’, complete with a pre-1977 full size Glasgow Subway station and Regal Cinema replica. In recent years, the city has also acquired a number of steam locomotives and the L.S. Lowry painting ‘Cranes and Ships, Glasgow Docks’, both of which are now on display in the Riverside Museum.
