Bristol Industrial Museum is situated in the Floating Harbour in an old transit shed for goods coming into the city. Printing, flying, trains, cars, buses, ships are just some of the subjects you can expect to experience at the Industrial Museum, which contains over 700 exhibits relating to Bristol's long and varied industrial past. The Transport gallery displays most forms of land transport with a particular Bristol twist almost all were built here, in a city fascinated by anything that moves. Favourites include the world's first holiday caravan and a 1950s equivalent, the Grenville steam carriage and a working Gauge 1 model railway. There are also bicycles, motorcycles, cars, carriages and a Lodekka bus which is still used to this day to carry visitors from the City Museum to the Industrial Museum for Sunday Fundays. The Power To Fly. The Power To Fly gallery contains the definitive collection of Bristol-made aero engines, together with a mock-up flight deck of Concorde and a Sycamore helicopter. Scale models show the many aircraft built in the city. The Port of Bristol. The story of the Port of Bristol is told with models, paintings and fascinating objects. There are great views across the city and the docks from the viewing balcony.Bristol and Transatlantic Slave Trade. Our newest exhibition, the Bristol and Transatlantic Slavery gallery tells the story of slavery and how Bristol profited from the trade. Visitors can follow the course of the triangular trade between Britain, Africa and the Caribbean all the way through to abolition and today's legacy. Print & Pack. The Print & Pack gallery tells the story of one of Bristol's biggest industries with machinery and products. There are ex-factory printing machines which are put to good use during the regular hands-on family activities days. Make your own poster or paper bag to take home!. Outside on the Harbourside. The Museum's biggest exhibits are outside and are brought to life on summer weekends. The Fairbairn steam crane, a steam railway operated by two steam locomotives, Portbury and Henbury, and the Museum's two tugs and a fire-boat, all Bristol-built and in working order, are great favourites.
