Tramway Museum, St Kilda, Transport museum in St Kilda, Australia.
The Tramway Museum in St Kilda displays a collection of trams, trolleybuses, horse-drawn trams, and a diesel bus spread across outdoor and indoor spaces. The exhibition is organized along an operational track that runs through the site.
The museum began collecting trams in the late 1950s and was first presented as a static exhibition before adding an operational rail system. Since then it has served as a place where Australian public transport history is preserved and experienced firsthand.
The collection features vehicles from different Australian cities and shows how urban transport shaped communities across the country over time. Visitors can observe the range of transportation methods that once served daily commutes in these areas.
The site is easy to navigate on foot and accessible to visitors of different abilities. It helps to wear comfortable shoes and allow time for a ride or walk through the grounds to see everything.
The museum operates original vehicles that have been preserved and maintained to run along its track. Visitors get to experience how these machines actually moved and sounded, rather than simply viewing them standing still.
