A transport museum is a museum that holds collections of transport items, which are often limited to land transport (road and rail)—including old cars, motorcycles, trucks, trains, trams/streetcars, buses, trolleybuses and coaches—but can also include air transport or waterborne transport items, along with educational displays and other old transport objects.[1] Some transport museums are housed in disused transport infrastructure such as dismantled trolley systems, former engine sheds or bus garages.
