Being Brunel Opens at Brunel’s SS Great Britain in Bristol This Month

A new £7.2m visitor attraction will be opening in Bristol this month, making the city at the forefront of information and research about engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

Being Brunel, is due to open its doors on 23 March 2018. It will feature six galleries, 150 personal artefacts and will celebrate the famous engineer’s life and work.

Visitors to the event will be able to walk into Brunel’s original and restored Dock Office, experiencing the sights, sounds and location that Brunel worked from.

The venue is set next to the SS Great Britain herself, with tickets valid for both attractions.

“By preserving Brunel’s legacy in this way, the museum aims to show what the man made, and what made the man, and we aim to inspire the innovators of the future,” Matthew Tanner, Chief Executive of the SS Great Britain Trust, said.

“It will also highlight Brunel’s continuing relevance today with insight from ‘modern day Brunels’ including Norman Foster and Roma Agrawal, exploring how Brunel has inspired their work.”
