The Brunel Institute
Alongside the SS Great Britain and two museums on site is the Brunel Institute, the Trust’s research and collections centre. It is a collaborative venture between the SS Great Britain Trust and the University of Bristol, and houses one of the world’s finest maritime collections as well as the National Brunel Collection.
In the Brunel Institute visitors can access objects and archival materials from the collection and use the specialist maritime David MacGregor Library. The Institute is free to access and is open to everyone.
