Came to see the Ardman exhibit which was excellent, also walked around the Bristol exhibits we were also very interesting. Well worth a visit.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ M Shed, Bristol – A Wonderful, Welcoming Museum M Shed is such a lovely museum to wander around. It’s laid out in a way that makes it incredibly easy to explore, with super exhibits and brilliant stories about Bristol’s people, history and culture. You can dip in and out, take your time, or do a quick loop — it works for everyone. It’s ideal whether you’re solo, with family, or part of a school trip. There were a few school groups in when I visited and I have to say, they were all really well‑behaved and clearly enjoying themselves, which added to the atmosphere rather than taking away from it. The museum is free to enter, which is fantastic and makes it accessible to everyone. One small note of caution: the donation request at the entrance is a bit intense. The suggested amounts start very high — £5.00 and upwards — and while I was planning to donate something, the pressure made me hesitate. A gentler approach would feel more welcoming. That said, M Shed remains a brilliant place to spend an hour or two, full of heart, history and stories that stay with you. A real Bristol highlight.

The M shed is a modern museum specializing in Bristol history, and situated next to the historic docks , in the city centre . The museum is free to enter , however I payed £10 ( adult ) , to see the Aardman exhibition . The main museum has two floors of exhibits , including large vehicles and they are displayed in a modern dynamic way . Worth a visit if in the area , as it is free to enter and close by to other attractions . The Aardman exhibition is a smallish space crammed full of original claymation puppets , with Wallace & Gromit + Chicken run being the main attraction . There are information boards documenting the history of the company , with photos and original artwork and props from most of its back catalogue . Very good experience , especially if your a Wallace and Gromit fan . I strongly recommend booking ahead as it has limited capacity.

I visited the M Shed last Wednesday and it was a very enjoyable and informative time spent. Admission to the building is free and you can make a donation if you so desire. Afterwards we went for a walk along the dockside and taking in the fantastic views and beautiful weather!!

Everything you need to know about Bristol and Bristolians gathered together in one place and it’s free! Lots to see and do in a lovely environment with a great cafe too! Very popular with both tourist and locals with visitors stretch in g across the full age range. A really great way to spend a few hours, particularly if the weather isn’t so good.
