The Princess Royal officially opened M Shed on Wednesday, 14 December 2011.  Among the guests invited to meet her was our Chairman, Joanna Brown.   When speaking with Joanna, the Princess said she recognised the importance of Friends’ groups.

During her tour of the museum’s three galleries the Princess Royal was introduced to Princess Campbell MBE, Bristol’s first Black ward sister and local  community activist. Princess Campbell’s original nurses uniform is one of the 3,000 objects on display in M Shed.
