Closure
The museum was closed on 29 October 2006, to be replaced by a new "M Shed" opening on the same site in spring 2011. A grant of UK£10.27 million has been obtained from the National Lottery, contributing to the estimated UK£25 million of the change. The current exhibits were due to be "moved into storage in other parts of the city and elsewhere in the UK", according to the Bristol Evening Post.
