RIVERSIDE MUSEUM AND TALL SHIP

Riverside Museum is an award-winning transport museum with more than 3,000 objects on display. You can find everything from locomotives to skateboards to paintings to prams and a Stormtrooper here. Berthed outside the museum, you'll find the Tall Ship, Glenlee, which is UK's only floating Clyde-built sailing ship.

Riverside Museum is a purpose-built museum created in the 21st century by Glasgow Life. It houses the city's fabulous technology and transport collections, which have been accumulated over the centuries. From motorbikes to trains to prams, cars, and ships, there's something for everyone. Bobbing in the waters next to the museum is the Tall Ship, also known as the Glenlee, which now functions as a naval museum. Take a trip to the floating museum to learn about life at sea and meet costumed guides.

The boat also serves as a venue for special family days, film screenings, and educational events. The Glenlee was built in 1896 in Glasgow and served both as a navy training vessel and cargo ship. Step onto the ship's main deck, tiller, and imagine steering the vessel through the vast sea. Peer into the workshops of sailmakers and carpenters or see the inside of the ship's cabin.
