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

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.

Focus on Fords – visit our exhibition 70 Years of Fords

Launched in 1998 as a replacement for the Ford Escort, the Ford Focus Mk1’s was forward-thinking with its sleek and modern design. It retained a practicality whilst offering greater performance and handling, making it appealing to many drivers.

Heavily influenced by the rallying scene, the Ford Focus was built to compete against other hot hatches like the Subaru Impreza WRX.

The Focus’ turbocharged engine, grip, precision handling, and rally-inspired design brought the rally-car experience to the everyday driver. New advancements such as electronic fuel-injection, electronic stability program, anti-locking brakes, and multi-link rear suspension made the hot hatches of the early 2000s more powerful and much easier to handle.

Don’t miss the opportunity to see this fantastic car. We look forward to seeing you soon!

The museum is open every day from 10am until 4.30pm.

Electric trams served the people of Dundee for over 50 years. Every day people stepped on and stepped off them going about their lives. Look at how the clothes changed. Notice the woman in the red dress, the men in suits, the smiling child, and the tram sharing the road with a horse-drawn carriage.

Learn about their stories at Dundee Museum of Transport: a museum about Dundee, for Dundee.

📍Dundee Museum of Transport, Market Mews, Dundee, DD1 3LA. Open from 10:00 until 4:30 seven days per week.

See this superb 1981 Ford Fiesta Supersport at our 70 Years of Ford exhibition!

The 1970’s fuel crisis ended the age of the muscle-bound, fuel-hungry Ford models. Ford’s response to this was the Fiesta, a small, affordable hatchback. With its large storage space, low price, and fuel efficiency, it proved hugely popular, selling millions over the following decade.

But there was still a hunger for power and performance and in the 1980s Ford introduced the Fiesta 1.3 Mk 1 Supersport aimed at the growing performance hatchback market.

The Supersport had a lower ride height, stiffer springs, and responsive front disc-brakes, improving both handling and cornering. Though only 2000 were ever sold, it offered a stylish and exciting driving experience at a price younger people could afford.

The museum is open daily from 10am until 4.30pm. We look forward to seeing you soon!
