The Edward Colston statue felled in Bristol last year will go on display at the M Shed museum next month.
The bronze figure of the 17th century slave trader was toppled during a Black Lives Matter protest in Bristol city centre on June 7, 2020.
And it will go on display at the museum on Princes Wharf nearly a year afterwards, on June 4. It will be a temporary exhibit with a survey asking people what should happen to the statue.

Updated
A legendary Bristol Rovers fan has died after a battle with cancer.
Pete “Pies” Dibble passed away on April 20 at the age of 73. The lifelong Gashead was renowned among fellow fans for his mischievous sense of humour and his fierce loyalty to the club, never missing a home game.
He grew up in Bristol city centre before raising a family in St George – instilling the same passion for Rovers in his children – and eventually becoming a granddad of six.
