The List

Dundee Museum of Transport

The Dundee Museum of Transport opened in April 2014 and is located in an industrial warehouse at Market Mews. The museum includes a huge range of transport vehicles including Dundee's last horse-drawn tram from 1887 and an Aberdeen Corporation tram from 1901. It tells the stories of local transport pioneers and innovators, and it displays vehicles from local and national collections. You can learn about Dundee's tram network, railway and maritime history, and the museum's team of volunteer guides will be happy to answer your questions. On display is Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and a recreation of the city's first flying machine.

Dundee Museum of Transport is proud to present a unique collaboration with Dundee Photographic Society. In this special exhibition, seven members of the society each selected an image from our rich photographic archives - capturing key moments and scenes from Dundee's transport history. They then created their own modern photographic responses using creativity and perspective to reimagine and reflect upon the original images. The result is a striking visual dialogue between past and present - a celebration of Dundee's changing streets, vehicles, and communities through the art of photography.
