Dresden Transport Museum, Transport museum in Neumarkt, Dresden, Germany
The Dresden Transport Museum occupies the Renaissance Johanneum building and displays vehicles for land, water, and air transport. The collection spans multiple floors with railways, automobiles, ships, and aircraft.
The collection originates from the Saxon Railway Museum, which was evacuated during World War II. After the war, the collection moved to the Johanneum in 1956 where it became the Transport Museum.
The museum shows how people in this region have traveled and moved goods for generations. The exhibitions tell stories of railways, ships, and cars that shaped Saxony.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and lies within walking distance of the old town. The exhibitions feature elevators and easy access for visitors with mobility limitations.
Visitors can explore a reconstructed ship hull inside the museum that shows how vessels journey from the Elbe River to open waters. This section demonstrates the connection between Dresden's river port and world trade routes.
