The Transport Museum is dedicated to a wide range of topics in the field of mobility. It houses exhibitions that cover all four modes of transport under one roof: road traffic, rail transport, aviation and navigation. The Dresden Transport Museum (founded in 1952) has its origins in the Royal Saxon State Railway museum founded in 1877 as one of the oldest technical collections in Germany. The Dresden Transport Museum is housed in the former royal stable building used by Saxon kings for their coaches and horses over 400 years ago. The ticket is valid for all open exhibitions (e.g. road, rail and air traffic, navigation, temporary exhibition, model railway, traffic garden).

Transport is always something that stands out when it is no longer there - and suddenly trade logistics are severely affected. In this respect, a very interesting topic, which is prepared here in a very diverse way, with a focus on traffic technology.
The museum is really fun,informative and has a lot of exhibits and 3 floors Make sure to have at least 1 hour for exploring. The museum would be fun for both,kids and adults No need in buying tickets in advance Was a bit hard for a senior to walk between 3 floors
An interesting journey through time through the age of technical development of vehicles in various fields.
I loved all of the East German machinery. It's not something that I have ever seen in other European auto museums outside the token Trabant.
A very interesting exhibition of traffic development in eastern Germany. Many exhibits have not been seen before. Everything explained with attention to detail. Entering some exhibits is also recommended.
It's only steps away from the Frauenkirche, which you will likely visit, so if you like trains, cars, boats, or planes, why not stop in? It's quite a varied collection. The model railway is fun, of course, but I particularly liked walking through the old tram car, and looking at a locomotive close up. The ship models were beautiful, with interesting writeups. The automobile section, while quite small, was also good. Its focus was on mid-level vehicles from the 1900s, rather than the expensive cars that many automobile museums focus on. The airplane section had numerous models spanning at least a 100-year period, and some actual planes suspended from the ceiling. Overall, it was enjoyable. We spent about two hours here.
The exhibition is divided into road transport, train and aviation. Is actually very well constructed, but does not come really in depth with the different areas. The place is really good for children, as there are many things they can play with and is a big model course they can watch. You can spend about an hour here.
Tak for besøget, feedbacken og vurderingen!
Well done and interestingly designed. Train, car, plane, ships, everything ordered and with lots of information about all eras. There is also a lot on offer for children.
Vielen Dank für den Besuch, das Feedback und die gute Bewertung!
Museum located in the city center, on the pedestrian part, fairly easily accessible. All transport is presented here, air, sea, railways, cars. There are also workshops with Things to do for children. Many collectors' items, but the aviation is little represented, perhaps for lack of space apart from a replica of the plane with which Blériot had crossed the Channel. There is a huge miniature rail circuit that will delight young and old.
Thank you for your visit and the review. Our aviation exhibition comprises three rooms (2 exhibtion rooms and one room with experiments). We are very sorry if you could not find this.
In a city like Dresden, this museum is suitable for a relaxing side visit. The best part in my opinion is the bikes, motorcycles and cars. It contains a working model of electric trains, but it is only turned on at specific times, so we only saw it from a standstill. From memory, I'd say it was on at 11 and 4:00, but check it out first.
Thank you very much for your visit and the review.
