It has welcomed 10 million visitors in its 22 years … but over the weekend around 15 thousand people turned up to bid farewell to Glasgow’s Museum of Transport .

Families and transport enthusiasts marvelled at the trams, trains, cars, and Kelvin Street … in the hours before the museum shut its doors.

When the exhibits are next unveiled, they will be part of the Riverside Museum, a £74m project on the banks of the Clyde and Kelvin, which will open in the early summer of 2011.

The closure of the Bunhouse Road attraction in the West End coincided with the launch of the public phase of the Riverside Museum Appeal. The appeal has to date raised £3.2m of a £5m target.

Over the final weekend, 15,000 visitors arrived at the old museum opposite Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
