The Riverside Museum is the first purpose-built museum created by Glasgow Life in the 21st century. Located at the junction of the River Kelvin and the River Clyde, it houses the city’s fabulous transport and technology collections, which have been gathered over the centuries and which reflect the important part Glasgow has played in the world through its contributions to heavy industries like shipbuilding, train manufacturing and engineering.
The museum was designed by internationally renowned architect, Dame Zaha Hadid, and opened in 2011 after a four-year build, with over 3,000 objects from the city’s world-famous collections displayed inside.
“The Riverside Museum is a fantastic project where the exhibits and building come together at this prominent and historic location on the Clyde waterfront. The complex geometries of the extruded design continue Glasgow’s rich engineering traditions and will be a part of the city’s future as a centre of innovation.” – Dame Zaha Hadid (1950-2016)

@CoastCyclist We are sorry but the museum opened at 10am this morning as usual. @The_Tall_Ship is currently closed, and due to some maintenance going on, we had to close our south door. There is a sign and a member of staff in there directing people to our opened front door (north door).

With only three wheels and being really light, breaking and turning could topple the car right over. The body of the car was made of fiberglass and they completely mangled when involved in accidents. Invacars were effectively banned from the roads in 2003 due to safety concerns.
Read MoreAn examiner will show the new owner the brakes and would have a half-hour drive around, and that was it; they were ready to drive it! For many disabled people it meant freedom and independence. But the Invacars were prone to accidents.
Read MoreIt is indeed an Invacar, AKA Wee Bluey. The British Ministry of Pensions distributed Invacars free to disabled people from 1948 until 1981. It was conceived as a single passenger car, with a sliding seat for easy access from a wheelchair. https://t.co/FSQFwXOq2I
