Museum of Urban Transport Brussels

The Museum of Urban Transport Brussels is housed in a former tram depot with wooden roof structures in Woluwe-Saint-Pierre. The collection contains around 130 vehicles spanning different eras, including horse-drawn trams, steam trams, and electric trams.

The building was constructed in 1897 as a tram depot for the International Exposition. A conversion took place in 1899 to accommodate standard gauge tracks instead of narrow gauge operations.

The collection shows how Brussels shaped its identity through transport. The vehicles on display reveal the choices people made about moving through their city across different eras.

Visitors can drop by on weekends to explore the vehicles housed in the preserved sheds. Heritage tram rides are available during summer months and on special occasions throughout the year.

Former employees of transport companies volunteer their time to maintain the vehicles and keep the collection's history alive. Since 1982, these experienced helpers have worked to make the collection accessible to visitors.
