Choose an area first
M Shed is a harbourside choice; Bristol Museum & Art Gallery is on Queen’s Road. Choose one for a short outing. Both currently open Tuesday–Sunday, so a Monday plan needs a different starting point.

Make it your own day
M Shed and Arnolfini are both on the harbourside. Bristol Museum is on Queen's Road, so treat it as a separate stop if you want a shorter outing.
Use the official programme for temporary exhibitions, closures and any booking requirements. Save a place from its page to keep it on your list.
