No trip to Glasgow is complete without visiting this award winning museum. I have been visiting there since 1996 and the more I see it the more I like it. I will be sad to see it close and move to the new museum as it will not be as good as the current one. I like the 1930s street... more

Took in the Transport Museum before we went to the Kelvingrove Museum for the Dr Who exhibition so we were a bit hashed for time as we had to be at the DWE for a set time. I couldn't believe my eyes at the Transport Museum. Its amazing, beautiful exhibits, an old fashioned mock up street scene and more. There... more

Although nearing 50, partner and myself had a fun time at the Museum of Transport in Glasgow. Lots to explore and "re-live" days of old. A solid, museum type experience with lots of engines, carriages, trains etc. A replica Victorian Village too. more

Glasgow's Museum of Transport is one of the best of its type in Europe. Admission is free - another bonus! The museum has a good collection of preserved trams, trains, cars, etc, but is not just of interest to transport enthusiasts.

Free museum in Glasgow as most of them are and it is well worth a visit. Tube to Kelvinhall and follow the signs, it is close to the Kelvingrove Museum. Downstairs is all well and good (it comes to something when four of your cars and your only motorbike are on display) but the icing on the cake is the... more

Truly a great visit. Contained within are old buses and trams from the streets of Glasgow, steam trains, gypsy caravans and a large selection of old motor cars. Upstairs there is also a Clyde Room which contains models of hundreds of the many great ships built on the River Clyde. My personal favourite feature is the Glasgow 1938 street: a... more
