Being Brunel — Attraction in Bristol

I know that when visiting the SS Great Britain, almost everybody starts with the ship and the Dockyard Museum, and by the time you're done exploring you're probably dead on your feet. This is why it's so handy that your ticket is valid for a full year, so that you can come back another time and spend some time visiting Being Brunel. 'Cause let me tell you, it's absolutely worth it.
