March 2025Nothing much to review about really. Well maintained place. Their public bathroom is quite large and clean with an accessibile one ♿. They have a shop as well but their souvenirs are not too costly. Also, they have a self check out kiosk to rent a power bank.

February 2025I’m glad I visited M Shed in Bristol! The exhibition on protests and social concerns was especially impactful—thought-provoking and well-curated. It’s a great space to explore the history of Bristol and its role in shaping society. The gift shop was pretty ace, offering some unique items, though a little modernization in the offerings wouldn’t hurt. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I’d definitely recommend a visit!

April 2025We had a wonderful day out at the M Shed, there was so much to look at and reading all about the history of Bristol and its people was fascinating. Plenty of interesting and eye catching exhibits to read, especially all of the Civil Rights and BLM information panels and displays. We took a ride on the steam train which was fantastic as well, only a short trip but gave us excellent views of the harbour.

February 2025Houses the Bristol museum that has a range of different exhibits. Worth spending an hour ot two wandering through to get a glimpse of the evolution of Bristol through the centuries.
