Ipswich Transport Museum, Transport museum in Ipswich, England.

The museum holds over 100 transport and engineering exhibits, including buses, trams, commercial vehicles, and fire apparatus in a former trolleybus depot.

Founded by the Ipswich Transport Preservation Group in 1965, the institution moved to its current location at Priory Heath in 1995 and opened to public.

The collection represents significant local manufacturers like Ransomes, Sims & Jefferies and Ransomes & Rapier, demonstrating the industrial heritage of the Ipswich region.

The museum operates on Sundays from April through November, with additional weekday afternoon openings scheduled during school holiday periods.

The restoration projects include a Cambridge horse tramcar from the 1880s and a Cooperative horse-drawn bread van, maintaining historical transportation methods.
