Outstanding museum with a lot of interactive displays for all ages. Does not shy away from looking at the more controversial aspects of Bristol 's history and encourages debate. Highly recommended!
Great free museum , well designed to engage children and adults alike. Currently with an excellent Wallace and Gromit exhibition . Worth popping along to.
This museum is not just a collection of artefacts but one where the displays complement stories about people, places and events in Bristol's past and present. Excellent wee cafe too!
M Shed has free and paid exhibitions and is a great place to learn a bit about Bristol’s colourful history.
All very interesting and interactive for kids - staff and volunteers who run it are great!
Fantastic exhibits that are jammed packed with visuals telling you everything you could ever want to know about Bristol. Almost a bit overstimulating but no worries.
It's a really interesting and quirky museum . Really enjoyed the non permanent chocolate exhibition as it told the locals stories vividly.
A free museum in the heart of the city Great for kids with interactive sections All to do with Bristol
Really nice experience about Bristol history with great view of the city from his terrace ... :)
Loved the wooly Bristol (Briswool) on the second floor!
One of the best city museums ever
Nice space fot conferences . And with great benefit of checking the exhibitions on break tomes!
Defaced statue of trans-Atlantic slave trader Edward Colston, toppled during 2020's anti-racism protests, is on permanent display at the M Shed

As Museums go this is not only Free but Exceptionally good! 10/10
Fantastic view , interesting histories about Bristol and good books about Banksy in the store.
The chocolate exhibition was quite interesting. Learnt a lot about Bristol chocolate heritage.
The coffee 's good and the view on the 2nd floor terrace outside is fantastic on a good day
Great view over the docks from the 2nd floor
Lovely view across the water from the top floor.
Fascinating look at Bristol's industrial history, beautiful view
Bristol's newest museum , telling the story of the city through displays , collections and technology.
Think it's designed for people with short attention spans - it's all a bit random - but maybe good for kids
It's free to get in and kids will love it. Try the interactive games!
Always nice to pay a vist
This new museum just tells the history of the people of Bristol and in a rather boring way -- lots of reading and not much in the way of displays .
Interesting and interactive exhibits
The amount of things on the walls is a little overwhelming.
The chairs in the cafe are really noisy when people scrape them on the floor.
If you love browsing in junk and antique shops you'll love this
It's free... Y'know free... Did you get that? Free!

Food expensive for what it is. Service slow from people in cafe , also grumpy. Management need to walk in the Customer's shoes
Am Samstag tobt hier ab mittags das Leben . Erst mal viele Skater beim Üben ihrer Kunststücke, am Abend dann volle Bars und Restaurants , best place to be!
