Stockholm Transport Museum, Transport museum in Södermalm, Sweden
The Stockholm Transport Museum displays around 60 vehicles including trams, buses, trolleybuses, suburban trains, and metro cars spanning different eras. The collection shows the technical evolution of these transportation modes from their earliest forms to modern times.
The collection began in 1944 when a transport manager started gathering old vehicles and established the museum. The collection has grown steadily since then to preserve the history of urban transit.
The museum shows how Stockholm's public transportation evolved over the centuries and what role it played in city life. The displayed vehicles tell the story of how people once moved around the city.
The museum is open several days each week and can be explored at a relaxed pace to see all the vehicles. A library and cafe located inside the building offer places to rest during your visit.
One of the most notable pieces is a horse-drawn omnibus from the 1840s, among the oldest preserved public transit vehicles in Sweden. This vehicle demonstrates what urban transportation looked like before motorization arrived.
