Dundee Museum of Transport

About

The Dundee Museum of Transport, located in Dundee, Scotland is a self-sustaining Scottish Charitable Organisation. The museum has a collection of historical items covering transport in Dundee and across Scotland. As of 2026, the museum plans to renovate and move into the former Maryfield Tram Depot from its current site at Market Mews by 2027. This will allow space to display more objects and “provide a valuable history of Dundee”. The planned move would aim to provide the resources to conduct more educational workshops and community work.

2010–2014: Establishment: In February 2010, representatives from several local groups met intending to establish Dundee Museum of Transport (DMofT). A committee was elected to advance the plans as quickly as possible, and on 2 June 2010 Dundee Museum of Transport was granted charitable status. Shortly after being formed DMofT acquired the lease on a derelict building that previously was part of an abattoir. Over the next four years a group of volunteers with little outside help or financial assistance, renovated the building and made it habitable.
