M Shed

Bristol Museums is putting on a free, all-day, building-wide festival to celebrate Black History Month. 

Hear from the authors and reflect on the evolution of the Colston statue memoryscape over the last four years.

SPECIAL EVENT: Have a go at driving the steam engine, Henbury and one of the iconic electric cranes outside M Shed.

The Bristol People gallery explores activities past and present that make Bristol what it is – creating, trading, challenging and celebrating.

The Bristol Places gallery focuses on the physical and dynamic city – the ways that people have shaped and experienced it and continue to do so.

Read about some of our biggest exhibits which are outside M Shed and can be seen even when the museum is closed.
