The vehicle halls make transport history tangible: compare the proportions of public transport with the smaller machines and animal-drawn vehicles that served different journeys. The collection rewards both mechanical enthusiasts and visitors interested in everyday urban life. Allow time to look closely without assuming vehicles can be boarded, driven or demonstrated during a routine museum visit.
What to look for
Trams, trolley buses and historic motor vehicles
Animal-drawn transport and steam-driven machines
