We're opening the doors to NI's Transport Museum Store on Saturday 13th September as part of European Heritage Open Days

Our Transport Museum store is a treasure trove of thousands of automotive, aeronautic and industrial collections that highlight our history of invention in this part of the world.

Take a self-guided tour of this remarkable collection, including Rex McCandless' innovations, historic bicycles, motorbikes, planes and boats including the rare Shorts Sealand. With a fascinating range of objects to see, and a chance to go behind the scenes at the Transport Museum Store, this is an opportunity not to be missed!

Please note: the store is not located at Ulster Transport Museum. It is a short distance away at 22 Heron Road, Harbour Estate, BT39 9LE. This will be the meeting point for the tour.
