Bristol city history museum M Shed has launched a new social sharing website.

The online platform allows users to share films, photographs, opinions and stories which can then be viewed through the interactive displays online or in the museum.

There are 50 electronic kiosks placed throughout the galleries, where users can add their stories and opinions to those on display. Any content that users submit online will also be displayed in the kiosks.

The aim of the interactive site is to boost interest about Bristol's past and future. M Shed describes itself as: 'One big world-wide conversation about Bristol.'

Julie Finch, head of Bristol Museums and Archives, said: 'M Shed is a new museum dedicated to telling the story of Bristol through objects and stories of the people who have made the city what it is today... and adding your own memories of the city through the interactive displays and online functionality.'

Louis Georgiou, director of digital marketing agency Code Computerlove, which worked with M Shed to develop the project, said: 'The interactivity of the website extends the museum experience beyond the physical and caters for consumer's appetite for sharing experiences, real life stories and engaging with organisations on a deeper, more personal level.'
