MVG Museum, Transport museum in Ramersdorf-Perlach, Germany.
The MVG Museum is housed in a large industrial hall and displays around 25 historical trams, buses, and work vehicles positioned on two tracks that run through the space. Beyond the vehicles themselves, the museum features vintage advertising posters from different decades, a subway simulator from the 1980s, and a model railroad exhibition.
The museum occupies part of Munich's listed tram main workshop on Ständlerstraße, a facility built for maintaining the city's tram fleet. It opened there on 27 October 2007, after the site had served for decades as the central workshop for trams and buses. The preserved industrial hall now holds the collection of historic vehicles.
The museum's vehicles carry their own "CVs", so each tram or bus is tied to the years it served Munich's routes. Since 2012 the main building and large hall have hosted Braukunst Live!, a beer-culture fair held among the exhibits. On open days a bus line O7 driven with vintage vehicles links the site to Giesing station.
The museum opens only two Sundays each month, so checking the exact dates in advance is important. The hall is easy to navigate and has plenty of space, though comfortable walking shoes are recommended since you will spend time moving around the exhibits.
On open days a bus line O7 runs from the museum stop to Giesing station, driven by the Kraftverkehr München company with vintage buses. A tram line E7 also operates on some dates, usually with two cars, one of them a historical tram type when available. The hall and main building double as an event venue; Braukunst Live! has been held here since 2012.
