Had a great visit. First time visit and really enjoyed it. My father worked at Rolls Royce in the 70s and worked on Concorde after mentioning this an amazing guide took us behind the scenes to look at one of their exhibits. We would highly recommend a visit it is highly worth it.

Yes this is the first time I visit a museum.. I was so excited to see the art 🖼️ how was the life past time 🕰️. You can see here old Bristol life . Where people was so good and there life style and culture. Also you can find here lots of information ℹ️ about world culture and history. Recommend to go here family and friends.

Nice place to go with family. Detailed museum of Bristol in ages Located at the centre of city. Harbor side. Everything kept very neat and tidy. Inside the and outside the museum lots to enjoy. Small cafe inside. Outside there is lots of cargo restaurants with dine in and takeaway. But little costly. Wine and beer also serving in the cargo restaurants. Parking.. On nearby parking places run by council, pay and display or pay by ring go app.

A great museum with a lot of exhibits about the history of Bristol and its people. Is worth a visit and entry is free. Been on the ground floor is great for wheelchair users and people with prams. Entry is free and is only 10 minutes walking distance from SS Great Britain. The cafe with the seating outside is a nice place to spend time.

This is an interesting eclectic museum about the Bristol area, its history, and its people. It is free to visit and includes a cafe, a shop, and a roof terrace with riverside views.

Visited May 6, 2019: Interesting different pieces of local history. I love the location as you can look out to the waters from certain areas of the museum, which is very relaxing, and just the overall vibe being at a docking area (no less emphasized by the towering cranes outside the museum).

Beautiful meusum, it is all about the history of this city ( Bristol), it consists of 3 stages full of heritages and memory of the people of this city. It is suitable for the whole family. The entrance is free There is paid parking on the opposite side. I highly recommend it 👌

Great place to visit while in Bristol. Staff were very friendly & helped with a lot of useful information. Walking around M Shed was a educational exoerience which my son loved aswell while learning about the historical importance of Bristol. Overall a good experience 👍😁💥

I love this place. Free (donations are requested). Full of interesting items for young and old alike and slap bang in thr middle of a grest location with awesome shops, attractions and food nearby in Whapping Wharf, Millenium Square, SS Great Britain and the City Centre. Add to that the views of the city and the hustle and bustle of the harbour and you are onto a winner. Getting to catch a steam train outside, exploring the Matthew or taking to the water all adds to the experience. It is a simple must do in Bristol whether you are a local or a visitor. Part of what makes Bristol so special. One caveat - the cafe is not in my view the cheapest but there are plenty of other places nearby for food and drink.

Great place to visit for both adults and children. Very modern and nicely laid out. Make sure to check out the open terrace on floor 3. Book free tickets in advance.

Fantastic place...free to visit... history of Bristol, but also an insight into past trends, political milestones etc....wonderful for adults and kids alike, very interactive and lots to keep you entertained...visit for sure ?

Great free entertainment and history of Bristol. Really nice setting. Lots of eateries and places to have a drink nearby, plus the S S Great Britain at yhe end.

There’s a beautiful view from the rooftop! It’s free and you can access from the 2nd floor. The museum has a great collection about the city of Bristol but the exhibition itself seems a bit old fashioned. I miss the recent facts like Black Lives Matter protest.

A spacious, modern museum that tells a lot of fascinating stories about Bristol’s past. Very easy to lose a few hours walking around here, and there are often related harbourside activities involving older technology (steam train, cranes, different boats) during the weekends in the summer months. Make sure you head to the top floor (and, if you can, on the balcony of the top floor) for a great view of Central Bristol!

First time coming today and it was Amazing , cannot believe it's Free it's wonderful to bring children and adults to show the younger generation about Our history . Great day

Free entry to the main exhibits but not for the additional exhibitions and they recommend booking a time slot at the moment. Really interesting information all about the history and people of Bristol. Can do quickly or take longer. Definitely recommend a visit if you're visiting Bristol!

Very interesting to learn a lot about Bristol, well worth a visit. Probably a good call if you are looking for a quality attraction on a rainy day to keep the family entertained, and it is Free. Or like today, it was nice to get a break from all that heat. El Scorchio 🔥👍

View from the roof. Plenty to see and do. Fantastic for rainy days. Good for all ages.

Had a really lovely time this afternoon, when it's open it's a nice place to visit especially if like today it's cold, wet and windy outside

Lovely place to visit, full of the history of Bristol. Fully wheelchair & pushchair accessible, spread over 2 floors with lifts. Cafe did a great lunch at a great price. Vegan options available. We'll worth a visit, free to get in but a suggested donation of £5 can be given at any of the many donation stations around the museum.

Absolutely brilliant place to visit. Great accessibility for wheelchair users, lovely cafe and amazing interactive displays. The shop has loads of quirky and unusual gifts available, and the museum itself works for any age and ability, a definite 'must visit'. We'll be back time and time again.

Amazing museum which hosts the history of Bristol city. Has photo exhibition on the 2bd floor which requires entry tickets. The museum itself is free entry though. Has washrooms in each floor with a beer/snacks parlor on the ground.

Great place to visit with fascinating displays and the fact that it's free to visit only makes the place better

Planned a visit as thought would keep the little one busy for the afternoon. Was expecting to visit the kids interactive area but due to pandemic, they no longer have a kid interactive area. Despite that, the had 2 Banksy pieces and the little one still had lots to see. Spoke to one staff, didn't get his name but tall thin fella, very knowledgeable and approachable. He made the visit more enjoyable.

Vanguard Exhibition on Street art and modern art including Banksy is excellent. It us very vibrant and thought provoking. There are three short films in three areas. World class exhibition in Bristol.

It's not my thing. I have tried to come here a few times and it just falls flat for me. The displays are of good quality and I find pieces to be interesting but it doesn't seem to grab my attention. It just felt more like a free place to go when the weather is not good. The toilets are of great quality and I liked that there was a specific section for Muslims to wash before their prayer, that was a nice touch. It is free entry and I wonder if it's more suited for another demographic but sadly it's not my thing.

This is free! It surprised me as I had lived in Bristol for several years and didn't know that. It provides some interesting history of the different areas of Bristol, but the highlight of course is the little steam train that runs up and down outside throughout the day. Located next to a nice row of shops and cafes. Also I went during the Bristol Unicorn trail so I've attached photos of those from around the city. The white one is at M shed, the space one at Temple meads, the yellow and blue one at wake the tiger and the Bristol themed one at the cathedral.

Free to enter, although on line booking advised. Lots to see about Bristol history, some of it also I feel is of national importance. Colston statue and story fascinating. Well worth a visit.

A good way to spend a couple of hours exploring so many different facets of Bristol. The excellent street art exhibition was on when I visited which was well worth the admission price as it gave me so much context to something I knew nothing about. One bit of advice - start on the ground floor, wasn't obvious to me to do so, but after I realised how much context I'd have had for the rest!

I love this place. It is a great representation of the pride in Bristol for diversity and Bristol's achievements but it doesn't paint over the cracks. I was impressed with the Colston display. Even the way they had it on its side, I think was sensitive to the situation. The information on offer was balanced and impartial and there was a viewpoint of curiosity and focus on the opinions of the public as well. A great showcase.

Great museum. My wife and I enjoyed it very much

Some really interesting exhibits. I particularly liked the information about the Pegasus engines. Some of the interactives were not working which was a bit of a let down and some were traditional museum faire which I think could be improved, but it was good and we will likely visit again. I also really enjoyed the tea and rocky road in the cafe.

Great Musuem to learn about the places in Bristol as well the history of the city. Probably the best place to start exploring Bristol.

I visited from London to meet a friend. However the weather was so bad we ducked into the M Shed, but we're so glad we did. We walked through the photography display, which was very interesting and enjoyable. It was also laid out very well with sufficient room to move around and see all the exhibits, especially those of younger entrants, which were amazingly skilled. The staff are kind, helpful and approachable. There are some lovely gifts in the shop. I would have liked to buy some postcards of the exhibits, but they are only available in a coffee table book; which is understandable. Lovely open space feel despite being a museum that is not huge and they pack a lot in, but it doesn't feel constricted in any way. Loved it.

Great wildlife photography exhibition well worth a visit, if the weather is fine take a walk around the balcony fabulous views over the harbour.

M Shed should be your to do list when you are around, first the entry is free , second it’s amazing museum place to know the history of Bristol. M Shed is spread across three floors any picture and review can’t do justice to the place, do visit. Time - 30- 120 minutes depending on your inquisitiveness.

It was free to visit and it was informative about Bristol and the best part is the terrace, you can see the best view of Harbourside in Bristol. #🇵🇭

Photos taken from the top of the M Shed. Enjoyed the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Exhibition. The museum was good lots of information.

Really interesting and well maintained collection of life in Bristol. Doesn't take long to go around and plenty of other interpreting things and places to eat nearby.

I was really impressed by M Shed, a modern museum that tells Bristol's many stories in interesting and interactive ways. More local history destinations should be like this !

Amazing free museum which explores the history of Bristol's politics, culture and people. Could easily spend an hour or two in here, I think it also has some rotating exhibitions too: there was one on climate change when we visited. Well worth a visit, especially if its your first time in Bristol. Attendants were also friendly and happy to answer questions. The terrace also has a great view of harbourside.

Free entry which is good but the main exhibits when we went were about street parties, rioting and slavery which was not really of much interest to us. Aardman only have a very small exhibit currently and the statue pushed into the river is in storage. My eldest son liked the armour and sword the most. The bansksy stencil and prints were of most interest to me.

Amazing! We love it here and visit every time I'm town. So much available and its free. Our local history held in a top location. So much fun yo be had here ♡

Booked my ticket (£5) a month in advance. It was the 1st time I visited Mshed. It is worth every penny. I saw displays that reminded me of old times. However I learnt about where I live. They were great about my disabilities and my needs. I could feel that they actually cared for my welfare and that I enjoyed my visit/experience. Highly recommend visiting.

Great place to learn about Bristol history. Kids loved it. Has interactive plays and lots of stop to enjoy. Easy, beautiful walk to it if you going with bus.

A really good museum next to the harbour with many displays. It clearly shows the history of Bristol and I still don’t know how they got a double decker 1980s bus in there. Sometimes, the steam trains from the Bristol harbour railway park up outside and you can smell the steam from inside the building. Overall, a nice thing to do whilst in Bristol.

Lovely place to go with a family or for a free afternoon. They have some really interesting bits of Bristol history, including natural history, wartime and civil history. They even have a book made of a person's skin (yes, really). It's a good place to go if you want to see how big a penny farthing is in real life. Since it's free, it'd be a shame if someone lived here and didn't go to see it. Their hygiene precautions were very good and you can book tickets in advance.

Great place to spend an afternoon learning about the history and evolution of Bristol (and England in general!) I love the fact that the walls are full not only with interesting things but also pictures of contemporary people - change makers, visionaries, activists, artists and so on. There’s an original Banksy on sight, the Grim Reaper - one of the oldest ones, a cool range of vintage cars, motorbikes and other means of transportation and there’s even an old red telephone box. Cool place! Excellent for tourists! Free entrance ticket and parking available nearby..

Really interesting museum, but many of the interactive features weren't working. Wonderful exhibition on the 1st floor detailing lives of different people in Bristol! Affordable entry price and exhibition space entry was affordable too! Would recommend.

The M shed deserves 5 stars. It's free to enter and if you want to donate it's not in your face. Plenty of history and items on exhibition. There are paid exhibitions if you want to visit them. Nice shop, facilities and access for everyone. Warm and welcoming with things for young children to do. When your finished grab a coffee and take a walk along the Marina. Parking locally pair for and if your disabled or have limited mobility there is parking very close by. Free parking for motorcycles in addition. Something to note if you ride . I would recommend a visit.

Luv it :)))

Large museum showcasing local history with a good range of exhibits, including vehicles, artefacts and displays.. Great location on the waterside, so plenty to explore nearby. Very interesting and worth a visit. Even better, it's free entry.

Wildlife photography gallery, Excellent

Fantastic interactive museum for all agrs

Great staff and very informative.

The wildlife photographer of the year was amazing.

Fantastic family day out

You can find living history here.

Good afternoon with lots of interesting displays and info on Bristol, well worth a visit on a rainy day

Loved everything about this place ?

Very informative

Good place for walking

Really great resource. Well run and presented

Great place ??

Nice when good weather ??

Went to the wildlife photographer of the year exhibition, which was incredible. The rest of the museum is a really nice way to pass an hour

Great place to take the kids, lots to see and find out about bristol. The cafe serves nice food too!!

The highlight of our excellent visit was a tour of the archive collection with Diane. She was well informed and enthusiastic and the exhibits were fascinating.

This place is a great place to take young people and visitors to Bristol. It's super accessible, really well suited for prams and kids too. There is a lovely little coffee shop and gift shop, the exhibitions are usually really interesting too!

Really interesting museum looking at the social history of Bristol and how it grew from its early roots. Very interactive and lots of excellent memorabilia including an old bus you can climb aboard. The grandparents in the many families there were taken right back to their childhood! If you allow up to an hour you'll cover most of it.

Without a shadow of a doubt simply the best museum that I've ever visited! Not only does it describe the formation of Bristol but provides a honest and transparent timeframe of key activities that occurred in the city to make it so progressive and diverse. I wish every city had one of these!

Great building and layout of exhibitions. Cafe had nice homemade dishes and pastries. Staff were friendly. Looking forward to coming back!

Somehow they manage to communicate the tone of each of the neighbourhoods using the quotes from local residents. Goes beyond the obvious. Great place!

We go annually for the wildlife photographer of the year exhibition which is brilliant. Otherwise they have great exhibitions on the history if bristol which are free. Definitely worth a visit

Nice museum

Went there for a works Christmas party. Staff and food good. Unfortunately they forgot our table when serving the main course. The one person having vegetarian was brought theirs and we waited for ours. In the end we had to ask, a good 5-10 minutes later. Very apologetic and it arrived very quickly then. I would have given 5 stars otherwise.

Had a lovely afternoon out with the kids, 7 & 5, both really fascinated with the history within the Mshed. Giftshop was the only bit we never visited due to kids being tired food and coffee in cafe were lovely too - Staff really helpful😍

Fascinating free museum telling the story of Bristol and it's industries. Great harbour side location, always something going on. And just behind is a great range of eating places

Very good museum, plenty to see .

Overview of Bristol: people and places

Great place

Really interesting and lots if memories

Nice place

(Translated by Google) Interesting (Original) Ciekawe

Went to the M shed for the wildlife photographer of the year display. Cant say much about the place as didn't do anything else there. But the staff that we interacted with we very nice, helpful and knowledgeable. The place is very clean and it is accessible for everyone that was there.

Oh dear! worst coffee I've ever had

It's all about the history of Bristol from prehistoric times. Located in a dockside shed it's fascinating exhibits are well worth a visit. Nearby is SS Great Britain so easy to combine the two visits.

(Translated by Google) The history of Bristol is very accessible and interesting, even small children have something to do there (Original) Historia Bristolu przedstawiona bardzo przystępnie i ciekawie , nawet małe dzieci mają tam co robić

Excellent, free museum

Very good museum

Wonderful experience

Always a pleasant visit, warm and comfortable surroundings and always learn something new!

Because it's beautiful

This museum has some interesting artifacts that tells the stories of a bygone era in Bristol, England.

Very informative and really interesting. Easy access too.

Great place to visit if you are in Bristol

Interesting history of Bristol with some great exhibits.

Perfect for Quality Family Time!
