At the Dresden Transportation Museum, everything revolves around the mobility that keeps us moving.
How did we get around 200 years ago? How has mobility changed our everyday lives? And how will we get around in the future? From the steam locomotive to the automobile, from the penny-farthing to the airplane: Discover 200 years of transportation history and learn how technological developments have changed our world.

It’s not just about watching—it’s also about trying things out for yourself and getting involved: Numerous interactive stations invite children and adults alike to discover technology in a playful way. In the dyna mix lab, visitors can explore and experiment at 18 hands-on stations, while the model railroad—spanning over 300 square meters and featuring around 200 locomotives—is sure to amaze. And the little ones? They’ll have a blast zooming around in the Bobby Car traffic garden, learning the most important traffic rules along the way through play. The museum’s offerings are complemented by rotating special exhibitions on current topics related to mobility, technology, and society.

Whether you’re a family, a tech fan, or a curious explorer—there’s something for everyone to see, experience, and try out for themselves at the Dresden Transportation Museum.
