The Museum of Transport opens its doors to transport you back through Manchester's road passenger past. Explore a range of Manchester-themed displays, artefacts, documents and images.

Leave your car behind and get to the Museum on a free heritage bus ride from Albert Square, also calling at the Museum of Science and Industry and the People's History Museum.
