Introduction
The Riverside Museum stands on the banks of the River Clyde in Glasgow, Scotland, designed by architect Zaha Hadid and one of the city's modern landmarks. It is a museum of transport and travel, its collection spanning horse-drawn carriages, trams, buses, cars and ships, with thousands of objects recalling the glory days of Glasgow and Clyde shipping. The building's wave-like roof echoes the river, and inside the spaces are open and easy to move through, including recreated old streets and shops. Right beside the tall sailing ship Glenlee, it can be visited together with the vessel. Admission is usually free and it suits families; allow about two hours.
