The Museum of Transpon comes of age
Birthday celebrations
As one thing ends another begins. And so it was with one of Glasgow's most impressive attractions. the Museum of Transport. Forty years ago this month. the MoT opened its doors at the end of another travel era 7— the demise of Glasgow's trams. Almost a quarter of a million visitors a year have frequented the museum and enjoyed the machinery on View. The museum houses road. rail and sea transport devrces from over the centuries. as well as electric and horse drawn trams. buses and cars.
When the Moi moved to its current site in the Kelvin Hall in t988. Visitor figures almost doubled. /\s the years have passed the duality of the exhibits has vastly iriipr'o\.'ed. Check out the newest features paying tribute to the city's heritage. including the 1030s Kelvin Street and 2:30 ship models. From the Comet of 1812 to fabulous builders' models of the Hood. Howe. Queen Mary. Queen Eli/abeth and Queen Eli/abeth 2. the Clyde Room reflects the proud boast ‘nyde built'.
the museum uses its array of models to tell the story of transport by land and sea. With a unique Glasgow slant. [Explore the oldest surviving pedal cycle and the finest collection in the world of Scottish-built cars. including such world famous makes as Ar‘gyll. Arrol Johnson and Nixon. The breadth of the collection is also impressive. featuring all forms of transport from horse-drawn vehicles to fire engines. motorcycles and caravans. ffiven toy cars and pr'anis are included.
\"Vhether you're a transport novrce or aficionado there's something for everyone.
