Visited here on a family trip to Dundee. What a great little museum. It’s packed with great vehicles and interesting displays. The staff were absolutely brilliant and really made the visit even better.

The staff are all volunteers and it shows with their enthusiasm and we’re on hand to answer any questions and tell stories about their interesting finds. They even let our son sit in the Fire Engine which he was thrilled about.

I would highly recommend a visit here if you are in Dundee

TESTIMONIALS

restorING
maryfield tram depot
brick by brick

A massive thank you to everyone who supported our Crowdfunder campaign to raise funds to restore the damaged bricks at Maryfield Tram Depot.

Since the launch in mid November over 500 supporters have helped us raise just over £34,000 including Gift Aid which will all go towards the restoration work to create a permanent home for Dundee Museum of Transport.

If you missed the Crowdfunder campaign you can still make a donation to support our efforts.

Every penny raised will contribute to the costs of restoring the Tram Depot giving you the opportunity to play an important role in the future of this significant historical landmark.

It’s Chitty’s last day tomorrow!

After a decade of being one of our most loved vehicles, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang will leave the museum after we close on Monday 10th February. We’re sad to see her go, as she’s been a part of our museum for so long, but her departure means we’ll have space for new displays for our visitors to explore.

So, come along on Monday and help give her a good send off!

And, look out for new arrivals soon!

We’re open from 10am – 4.30pm on Monday.

Last chance to see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!

After a decade of delighting visitors, our beloved replica of this iconic car will be leaving to make space for new exhibits.

Chitty has been a treasured part of our museum, sparking nostalgia and smiles amongst our visitors.

But now it’s time for change and whilst we’re truly sad to see him go, we’d love you to give him the send-off he deserves.

Don’t miss your chance to say goodbye to this extraordinary piece of movie magic before he flies off into the sunset!

The museum is open Friday to Monday, 10am until 4.30pm during February.

Our new exhibition for 2025 features a cracking collab with Dundee Photographic Society!

Providing their members with access to our historic photo collection, they picked images that resonated with them to inspire their creative responses. You can see the results of their work here at the museum over the coming months.

Visitors can wander through time and see how transport and travel have, and will always be, part of our lives.

The exhibition will launch with the reopening of the museum on Saturday 1st February – we hope to see you soon!

Happy New Year!

2024 has been hugely successful for Dundee Museum of Transport. We’ve seen incredible engagement with our events, exhibitions, and Cars & Coffee meets. The museum has been a hubbub of activity throughout the year!

And we couldn’t have done it without the volunteers who give their time, the efforts of all those we’ve collaborated with, and of course, the brilliant community who make the museum what it is.

So, from all of us, thank you. 😊
We can’t wait to see you in 2025!
