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).

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.

Very interesting. - 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.

A small museum of means of transport, suitable as a side visit. - 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.

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.

Unfriendly staff - Unfriendly staff (guide). We were there on June 8th, 2024. The tickets for the tour were only given to selected people. Unfortunately, we were not there. Our children were looking forward to the tour and we could not take part because we did not have these tickets.
