Glasgow has a tradition of being an Engineering city. The
Museum of Transport is a snapshot of what that means. You
can sit in cars, trams, buses & trains. Also make sure
that you take into account The Rotunda area. There you will
find the last fantastic crane that used to lift the locomotive
which where shipped out from Glasgow Engineering Works - worldwide.
Some years there are ceremonial burnings of a straw replica
of the last locomotive. Around The Rotunda there are restraunts
based on original architectural designs.
Glasgow Transport Museum is a great place to spend a day,
and it has things for all age groups. On display are forms
of just about every type of transport ever seen, including
some temporary displays for items such as a model of a Spitfire
aeroplane. All the displays are within touching distance and
excellent pictures can be taken alongside them, some of them,
such as the trams and trains can be accessed at much closer
range. There are also remarkable cars from every age and even
older horse drawn carriages.
Contains so many different forms of transport - all kinds
and ages of cars, bicycles, motorbike, old buses and Glasgow
trams and a special exhibit of model ships in honour of Glasgow
strong shipbuilding tradition. There is also a cool replica
of Kelvin Street in 1938 with shop fronts and a working cinema.
