Description
Step into the story of Bristol with a trip to the iconic M Shed Museum, where you’ll explore the city’s rich past - from its people and places to its role in global history.
Wander through interactive exhibits that bring Bristol’s culture and heritage to life, then hop aboard a real historic steam train for a scenic ride along the harbourside.
It’s a great chance to connect with other students while discovering your new city.

The Arnolfini is on the harbourside right next to the city centre. To get there:

- From Glenside Campus: take the number 5 bus getting off at "Broadmead" bus stop, or number 48a bus getting off at "Cabot Circus" bus stop.
- Dott e-scooters and e-bikes are available from both Glenside and Frenchay campuses. Please make sure you follow all safety directions, road rules, and wear a helment when travelling on Dott.
