M Shed, Bristol

The museum tells the story of the city from prehistoric times to the present day, through interactive displays, films, photography, personal stories and rare and quirky objects.

The museum’s name derives from the way that the port identified each of its sheds. There are many different galleries to explore within the museum, such as: “Bristol Places” which focuses on the ways that people have shaped and experienced the city, “Bristol People” which explores past and present activities within Bristol and “Bristol Life” which looks at people’s shared experiences in the city, amongst other exhibits.
