NZH Public Transport Museum, Transportation museum in Waarderpolder, Haarlem, Netherlands.
The NZH Public Transport Museum is a transportation museum in Haarlem that displays a collection of vintage trams, buses, and other transit vehicles from the region's public transport history. The museum features several exhibition areas where visitors can view these vehicles and learn about how they operated and served communities.
The museum was founded in 1986 to preserve the history of public transport in North and South Holland. The vehicles on display come from the NZH company, which operated the region's first electric tram line starting in 1899.
The vehicles on display shaped how people moved through the region for generations and connected different towns together. These trams and buses represent a time when public transport was the main way people traveled between communities.
The museum opens only on Saturdays and offers free parking and a small refreshment area on site. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since they walk through outdoor display areas to view the vehicles.
The museum houses a rare GMC Silver Eagle from 1966, a touring bus that was originally used as part of the NZH fleet. This vehicle still operates today and represents a uncommon piece of American bus history preserved in the Netherlands.
