Ogliari transport museum, Transport and railway museum in Ranco, Italy.

The museum contains over 200 years of transportation artifacts, including vintage trains, steam locomotives, and historical vehicles from the 18th to 20th centuries.

Francesco Ogliari, a university lecturer specializing in transport history, established this private museum in 1954 to preserve Italy's transportation heritage.

The museum displays a model of an ideal city inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's vision of harmony between human environment and transportation systems.

Located at via Alberto 99 in Ranco, the museum operates different schedules based on seasons, with morning and afternoon visiting hours throughout the year.
