From this website’s point of view, there’s more trams than buses, but I soon forgot my disappointment as I walked around the museum. There is so much is see with everything laid out neatly. You can board some of the exhibits and there is plenty of information for each item. What I like is the fact the most venues in Glasgow are not greedy, it’s free to get into most museums in Glasgow and I found that the little cafes are not too expensive.
The Riverside Museum is free, but a small donation as you leave certainly helps the museum to maintain its very high standards.
