Museum of Bristol update

Museum of Bristol work continues...


Bristol's historic dockside cargo cranes will once again be brought back to life when a restoration project re-starts this month. Hoardings have come down in front of the development of the new Museum of Bristol to allow Museum staff and volunteers access to the cranes which have stood still for the last two years.


Work on the cranes will continue the restoration process begun years ago and will involve full cleaning - including the removal of the resident pigeons which have made the cranes their home.
New volunteers are always welcome to help, and they are looking for people to join the friendly team to help look after big working exhibits, including the cranes, steam train and boats. Anyone interested in volunteering should contact Bristol City Council.


The new Museum will open in 2011. For more information visit: www.bristol.gov.uk/museums
