Behind the Scenes: Transport Store Tour

Would you like to get behind the scenes of our Transport Museum Store?

Join us for a self-guided tour: See inside this treasure trove of automotive, aeronautic and industrial collections that highlight the social, industrial, and sporting history of this part of the world.

Explore these collections through a self-guided tour. Highlights include Rex McCandless' innovations, historic bicycles, motorbikes, boats and planes (notably the rare Shorts Sealand). This is an opportunity to see inside a working museum store, quite unlike our conventional public galleries but equally fascinating!
