Stockholm Transport Museum, Transport museum in Södermalm, Sweden
The Stockholm Transport Museum is a transport museum in Malmö, Sweden, displaying public transit vehicles from different decades, including trams, buses, trolleybuses, suburban trains, and metro cars. The collection covers a broad range of eras, showing how each type of vehicle changed over time.
A transport manager began gathering old vehicles in 1944 and founded the museum around that collection. It has grown steadily since then, now covering almost two centuries of urban transit history.
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 can be explored at a relaxed pace, with enough space to get close to the vehicles on display. A library and a cafe are available inside the building if you need a break during your visit.
One of the oldest pieces in the collection is a horse-drawn omnibus from the 1840s, among the oldest surviving public transit vehicles in Sweden. It gives a clear sense of what getting around a city looked like long before engines existed.
