Excerience for kinds and dads - Great museum in the centre of Dresden. I wonder how they took the trains into it. Alle kinds of transport, many real vehicels, modeltrain exhibition. Not only for children

Interesting and well organised - The Museum is organized into four sections: private vehicles, railways, aviation and navigation. The top floor offers a nice surprise for children and one dedicated to modeling (very well looked after and beautiful). Each section exposes the evolution of that medium in relation to industrial progress and political changes. Especially nice how the impact of the union of the two Germanys on navigation is explained. Very well told also but aviation section. I found it complete, accurate and well explained. Maybe I would add a few more benches to rest between one room and another.

A great dish of history of transportation - This place will show you the history of cars, bicycles, races, motorbikes, trains, aviation etc. The best thing not only for children is the huge model railway room.

Worth every penny - March 2022 The museum was directly in front of the hotel I was staying in, and, as I work for an automobile museum in Stuttgart, I had to visit the Verkehrsmuseum (transport museum) in Dresden. The museum is small but full of wonderful treats (klein aber großartig). Housed in a building built in the 16th century to house the horses and coaches of King Johann of Saxony, the building is still dedicated today to mobility, The museum consists of six destinctive sections: - road transport - rail transport - aviation - sea/water transport - model railroad - road safety for children with other rooms for activities and other exhibitions. Ticket price €11 is fair, especially if you have time to view everything there. I spent three hours in the museum. The audio guide is an app which you can download on your smartphone. The problem is, if you don't have a headset/earpiece with you, you have to hold your phone to your ear if you don't want to bother other visitors. It would be a good idea if the museum offered such headsets. The good thing about the app is that you can listen back to the tracks days later if you note the code numbers of the exhibits. Your visit starts in the road transport section - and that's where I spent most of my time. The invention of the wheel, the penny.farthing, the bicycle, the automobile. In this museum you can learn how to get on a penny-farthing! The museum is a bit cramped but full of interesting exhibits. For example, a video is projected onto a Horch engine illustrating the movement of the cylinders. When you press on the Horch accelerator, you accelerate the movement of the cylinders. I also loved the writing on the walls. The world history corresponding to the vehicles on exhibit. Great activities for children. I especially liked the "Flight physics lab" and the driving school where small children can learn the rules of the road. I could have spend the whole day in the Museum - or even longer.

English visitor will only be able to access all land transport but not others - Beautiful layout of different locomotives and history of the land without being in your face. The land transport really gives a basic chronological insight to transportation's transformation. Was a little disappointed about aviation and sea transport lacking in some translations.
