Bristol Industrial Museum closed on 29th October and work has started on transforming it into the new Museum of Bristol, due to open in 2011. The design will retain many of the existing features seen on the current building. Right in the heart of the city's historic harbour, the Museum of Bristol will tell the unique story of the city, its people and its place in the world.
When it reopens, this museum will display part of a Designated Collection of national importance.

When this museum opens, part of Bristol Museums’ Designated Collections related to Bristol’s role as a manufacturing city and major seaport will be on display here.
Other parts of these collections can be seen at Bristol’s City Museum & Art Gallery, Georgian House, Red Lodge, and Blaise Castle House Museum. Please contact Bristol Museums for more information if you wish to see a specific item.
The museums were Designated in respect of outstanding collections relating to the City of Bristol, including topographical paintings and prints, maps and archaeological collections. The collections relating to the 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th centuries are particularly rich, and reflect the importance of Bristol in those centuries.
