Isle of Wight Bus & Coach Museum, Transport museum in Newport, United Kingdom.
The Isle of Wight Bus and Coach Museum displays 21 vintage vehicles in a former bus depot, presenting the development of public transportation on the island.
Founded in 1997 and relocated to Park Road in 2015, the museum emerged from a volunteer initiative to preserve the transportation heritage of the Isle of Wight.
The collection features advertising boards from former Round the Island coach companies, illustrating the evolution of local tourism and commerce through transportation.
The museum operates from April to November on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday, providing a gift shop with transport memorabilia and a tea bar.
Among the preserved vehicles stands a 1934 Dennis Ace bus restored to original condition, which operated the coastal route between Ryde and Alum Bay.
