Streetlife Museum, Transport history museum in Old Town, Kingston upon Hull, England
The Streetlife Museum is a transport history museum in Old Town Kingston upon Hull displaying vehicles from the past 200 years, including bicycles, carriages, cars, buses, trains, and trams. The collection is housed in a purpose-built facility organized to show how people moved around different periods.
The museum was founded in 1989 and is run by Hull Museums to preserve transportation artifacts from the early 1900s onward. It developed into a key place for recording how people and goods moved through the region over time.

The museum is within easy walking distance from Hull Paragon Interchange and welcomes visitors throughout the day. Access is straightforward and the location makes it convenient to visit alongside other attractions in the area.
