ABOUT
the museum
We are an independent museum which preserves the transport heritage of Dundee and the surrounding areas. We reflect the past, showcase classic vehicles and look forward to a net-zero, sustainable, transport future reflecting Dundee as a forward-thinking city. We aim to educate and inspire visitors, giving them a memorable, hands-on experience whilst they explore the museum’s collections, exhibits, interactive displays and activities.​
​Led by trustees and a small staff team, the museum is also very dependent on the commitment, time, and energy of its volunteers who bring many years of experience and skills to the team.
