One of the most popular attractions in Scotland, over a million visitors come from all over the world annually to explore the Riverside Museum. The museum, which was the winner of the 2013 European Museum of the Year Award, houses over 3,000 objects dedicated to portraying Glasgow's rich history.

Highlighting everything from daily Glasgow life to its days as a maritime powerhouse, visitors will find displays that range from paintings and vintage cars to a Stormtrooper and numerous locomotives. The interactive displays range from touchscreen panels that tell stories to rail-related vehicles that visitors can climb aboard, such as trams, subway cars, and a train carriage.
